The 9 Best Shark Diving in Simon's Town, Western Cape

June 27, 2021 Esmeralda Fenner

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.

Shark Seekers

Climb into a impenetrable floating cage and feel the adrenaline pump through your veins as a shark swims towards you, opens its mouth and bares its big sharp teeth. The three main regions in South Africa that offer shark diving are Simon's Town near Cape Town, Gansbaai and Mossel Bay. Our shark diving trips operate in all three regions. Most people have a 90% fear level and 10% respect level. Yet, why not try changing those misconceptions and learn the truth about sharks in the best possible way. After diving with us, people that initially had put this experience off for a long time, came away saying that this was the best experience of their lives.
