Buffels Bay

The dive site Buffels Bay is a shoreline rocky reef in the Buffels Bay area on the Cape Peninsula, near Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. S34°19.217' E018°27.73' Between the slipway at Buffels Bay and the small sandy beach just to the north. This site is in a Marine Protected Area (2004). Geology: Ordovician sandstones of the Table Mountain group, probably of the Graafwater formation. The site is exposed to wind and waves from the south east, and is very near to Cape Point, so some south west swell will make it round the corner. The site should be dived in fairly flat conditions.
