Sunny Cove
Sunny Cove is on the south side of Fish Hoek Bay. Park next to the Sunny Cove railway station just south of Fish Hoek. Cross the railway line and there you are.

Just South of Fish Hoek is a bridge crossing the railway line at a small station called Sunny Cove. This has to be one of my (not me - the author of the blog below) favorite dive sites as it has the most to offer if you are lucky enough to find it. It boasts a large diversity of nudibranchs, and the further south you swim towards Glencairn, the richer the life becomes. I have swum underwater 75% of the way there before running out of air and having to exit onto the road. This is where I had my most exciting underwater moment and had the privilege of being within touching distance of an enormous Southern Right Whale on a spotlessly clean viz day. A good friend also had an encounter with a large great white here only 12m from the shore, and it came so close he ran his hand over it's tummy! (GW)
