Justin’s Caves, Cape Town, South Africa
★★★★☆
(30)
Justin’s Cave is an awesome dive site with great swim throughs, reef structure and kelp. It has a maximum depth of 15m with an average at 8m-13m. The Justin’s Caves group of rocks comprises huge granite core stone boulders in a cluster and swim-throughs. There is a seal colony close by so fur seals can be seen.
There is a large and fairly dense kelp forest on the way out and back which hold lots of schooling fish. The swim-throughs hold lots of coral and life ranging from sea fans to starfish
