About This Dive Spot
Seal Island in False Bay serves as a significant breeding ground for approximately 50,000 to 60,000 seals. This large population attracts Great White sharks, particularly during the period when seal pups begin to swim. Divers may encounter two species of sharks in the area: the Great White Shark and the Broadnose Sevengill Shark, although sightings of both species together are uncommon. The site is accessed by boat, providing divers with an opportunity to observe the unique marine life associated with this seal colony.
