About this site
Mossel Bay sits along the southern coast of the Western Cape, roughly midway between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth on the Garden Route. The bay is sheltered by Cape St Blaize and has long served as a harbor town, with diving in the area launched from its small craft harbor. The dive site here reaches a maximum depth of around 6 metres, making it a beginner-friendly spot well suited to shallow, sheltered diving within the bay.
