February 10, 2022 Layne Dawes

Simon's Town (Afrikaans: Simonstad), sometimes spelled Simonstown, is a town near Cape Town, South Africa, which is home to the South African Navy. It is located on the shores of False Bay, on the eastern side of the Cape Peninsula. For more than two centuries it has been a naval base and harbour (first for the Royal Navy and now the South African Navy). The town is named after Simon van der Stel, an early governor of the Cape Colony.

Oceanus Scuba Dive Centre

Oceanus Scuba was created with the goal of putting diving back in the hands of divers, by supplying top level PADI training, related services around the needs of our clients, and then expand into areas less exposed by other Dive centers. We want to teach people to become self-reliant members of our dive community. It's not about cramming as many students through a course in as few days as possible. It is about sharing our passion for diving with people who never put a regulator in their mouths and have them come back with a smile on their face.

Yvette Oosthuizen - Wild Blue Adventures Cape Town

As a little girl nothing gave me more pleasure than exploring the rocky shores during our ocean holidays. This abiding love for the sea led me to where I am now, living on the Southern Peninsula in beautiful Cape Town. The tidal pools here are beautiful thriving mini-ecosystems with sealife thriving in each of them. I take people to snorkel the hidden nooks, crannies to discover the hidden secrets there. I'm a qualified scuba and adventure freediver with a lifetime of experience.
