Seal Island (Duiker island)

(Western Cape)

Category

This is a site where you will see Cape fur seals, close up and in your face, both in the water and on the rocks. Other than seals, kelp and some low seaweeds, there is not much to see. The site is very popular with tourists who usually snorkel with the seals, though scuba excursions are generally also available. Locals generally go there once or twice, and then realise that they will see seals quite often at other sites.

These areas are situated along the South African Coast and are accessible to the public and are known dive locations to the locals from in and around the area, please respect their local fauna and flora, remember limit your catch and don’t catch your limit.
