Morné Le Grange and Mike Barron (founders of Impact Divers) came together during the COVID Pandemic and decided that their vision and passion will not be complete unless they start their own Dive Centre that will stand for, provide, and full fill not only the services and the quality they believe in but also give back and ensure that every person that is touched by Impact Divers will have a lasting memory of the marine environment and our ocean awareness. As a result, Impact Divers started to trade on 1 November 2021.

Millers Point is also known as Shark Alley due to the high numbers of Seven-gill sharks that use to be found here in the kelp forest. This site is in a marine protected area. Make sure you get your diving permit and take nothing other than memories and photos.
Seal Island in False Bay is home to 50 to 60 thousand seals at a time. This is a breeding colony that attracts the Great White shark to these waters during the time the seal pups start swimming.
Enter at the rocks on the left and swim toward the two pinnacle rocks out toward the ocean. The smaller rock on the left has a swim-through with three entry points. To the right is a larger rock with lots to see along the wall of the rock. This dive is more for advanced divers.
Due to the shape of the harbour, Long Beach is well protected from most winds and waves. This dive site has a maximum depth of about 18 meters. This dive site does not require a boat ride and is a great shore dive.
This site has a very easy and protected beach entry and a small cove with a sandy bottom that is suitable for training exercises, while also having a varied topography, diverse ecology, and large area.
Named for the large rock of the same name on the SAN charts. 550m north of Penguin Point. This is the biggest rock close offshore in Simon’s Town area, and it is unmistakable as a landmark.
This wreck is situated the Miller’s Point area. This is an easily accessible wreck in fair condition, but deteriorating rapidly. The wreck is of some historical interest but is not protected by legislation. The wreck is mostly intact and lies at 22m with the highest point being at about 18m depending on tides.
About 50-100 meters further out than Millers Point, Pyramid Rock is a kelp dive that also consists of many overhangs and swim throughs. This site was named after a rock formation with a distinct pyramid shape that breaks the surface of the water. This site has a maximum depth of 12 meters and an average of 5-10m.
Pristine kelp forests ranging in depths and some amazing reef structures as you get further out with massive pinnacles rising from 14m up to 5m. Average depth of dive site is around 10m. This site can can be quite sheltered from the rock structure blocking a NW wind which can be nicer on days with a bit more wind.
Also known as Seal Rock. This site is at the southern edge of the Castle Rocks restricted zone, within the Table Mountain National Park Marine Protected Area, where no fishing has been permitted for many years, and the result can be seen in the numbers of fish.
The dive site is about 50km from Cape Point (the most southwestern tip of Africa) into the warm Mozambique ocean current. The water temperature range between 19 and 24 degrees.
This dive site is accessible by boat and is approximately 8 km offshore. The average depth at Shark Alley is 3 meters and the maximum depth is 5 metres. Shore dives can be done through Shark Alley shallows.
This is just one of the many smaller offshore reefs in the 20 to 30m depth range that can be found along the coast of False Bay south of the Roman Rock reef complex, where there are a moderate number of scattered granite outcrops of various sizes, many of which are virtually unknown.
This wreck can be accessed from shore as you enter the water, sim on the surface for about 60m as descending on the wreck the depth is approximately 7m and as you follow the wreck it drops to 20m at the deepest part during high tide. The wreck has a large open area to swim into to view the inside of the wreck.
This is the point where Simon’s Bay meets the south coast of the Cape Peninsula, and the coastline makes a distinct turn, becoming more exposed to the swell and winds from the southeast. This site is in a Marine Protected Area (2004). A permit is required. The site is entirely inside the Boulders Restricted Zone.
