Caster Rock
★★★★☆
(107)
Castor Rock is close to the launch site at False Bay Yacht Club and the Simon’s Town jetty, and is relatively sheltered from southwesterly swell. The site is shallow and suited to entry-level divers, but has areas of high-profile scenic topography.
This is an extensive reef of granite. Basically a large area of moderate to low outcrops with occasional high areas, small gullies, ridges, boulders, small crevices and overhangs.
