Unique and memorable experience! - Lovely, friendly, informative staff who explained clearly how best to snorkel amongst the kelp and were extremely informative and knowledgeable of the marine life within. They guided us to see elusive octopi, many beautiful fish, starfish and coral. Despite windy conditions we were able to see a wonderful array of mariner life. A unique memorable experience. As a solo female traveller I would highly recommend!

Great family activity - We had a great day with the Cape Town Freediving team. We had booked a snorkeling outing in advance and arrived at the centre to be fitted out with wetsuit, fins, mask and snorkel. These were boxed up and we were given a brief briefing before heading off to our snorkeling site (you could catch a lift but we elected to take our own car). We spent an hour in the sea and found it fascinating. Our guides were good and pointed out a range of amazing animals and kept an eye on us. We left our gear after the snorkel and headed home; receiving a video link with a number of clips from our trip. All is all it was solid. A few area to develop - great if guides could introduce themselves. Maybe some sort of yea / coffee / biscuits on arrival; and ideally after the snorkel when everybody is a bit cold and had some time in the sea. Lastly; and auto email reminder 24 hrs before just to set the tone and confirm the activity would have been appreciated.
