Cape Town Freediving

My daughter and I had the most incredible snorkeling experience today with Cape Town Free Diving, and it’s one I’ll be talking about for a long time. From the moment my daughter and I arrived, the team’s professionalism was clear—they were organized, friendly, and made sure we felt completely prepared before getting into the water. Our guide, Rex, was exceptional. His knowledge of the ocean and the local marine life made the experience both educational and unforgettable. He pointed out different sea creatures with genuine enthusiasm, sharing fun facts and making sure we didn’t miss a thing. What really stood out was how attentive he was throughout the entire trip. He constantly checked in to make sure my daughter and I felt comfortable, safe, and confident—something any parent truly appreciates. Cape Town Free Diving delivered an experience that was equal parts adventure and reassurance. Thanks to Rex, we were able to relax, explore, and enjoy the underwater world together. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable and well-guided snorkeling adventure!

I recently completed the Adventure Freediver I course with Cape Town Freediving, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. John is calm, professional, and extremely safety-focused, which made it easy to relax and trust the process. The initial dive session really built my confidence and focused on technique, which set a strong foundation for the second day’s dive that centred on safety, control and exploration. What I appreciated most was the emphasis on relaxation and proper technique rather than pushing limits. It felt empowering, grounding, and genuinely transformative. Highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to start their freediving journey.

My husband and I recently completed a two-day freediving course with them, and we were extremely impressed. Martin is incredibly knowledgeable/skilled and kind, always ready to lend a helping hand when needed. John and Daniela, the owners, greeted us on the first day, and John checked in with us each day, which made us feel supported and welcomed. The team prioritised safety while also helping us build confidence in the water. Overall, it was an enjoyable and memorable experience, and we are very grateful for their guidance and care. Highly recommended!

My daughter wanted a snorkeling experience and we booked with Cape Town Freediving. The team was professional, welcoming and our gear for the day was prepared and ready. After a briefing of the intended snorkeling site, we proceeded to Windmill Beach. Our guide Ruben was excellent, knowledgeable and patient in guiding and instructing her to make sure she is comfortable and have the best snorkeling experience. We both had quite an enjoyable morning snorkeling. Cape Town Freediving is professional, courteous, safety and client-focused and will recommend them to anyone looking for a quality and enjoyable snorkeling experience.

I have just completed the adventure free diving 1 course and it was an unforgettable experience. All the staff were incredibly knowledgeable, professional and made me feel so comfortable. Thank you to my instructor Martin who was extremely patient and supportive and made the whole experience super memorable. I recommend Cape Town free diving to anyone who wants to do free diving or snorkeling in Cape Town, this is the best place to go! :)

Awesome snorkeling expierence. One 51 year old, four teenagers. The guides are welcoming, engaging and very friendly, easily helping and guiding first time snorkellers. The water was much warmer than expected, and the difficulty level is very low. I had some apprehension about safety but felt as safe as a baby at bathtime.

We had an amazing time snorkeling with the seals! From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and clearly very knowledgeable about the area and the animals. They provided all the necessary gear, so we felt comfortable and prepared for the experience. The water was quite cold at first, but as soon as we got in, we were too distracted by the playful seals to notice! They swam around us with so much curiosity and energy—it was a blast to watch and interact with them up close. A tip for future visitors: definitely rent an underwater camera. It made a huge difference in capturing the magical moments with these playful creatures. Overall, an unforgettable adventure that I highly recommend!

Incredible SeaForest snorkel. We loved it and learnt so much. All equipment provided was great. There was no rush it was chill and enjoyable. You get time to soak it all in. I ever found a shark egg! We saw 2 octopus and plenty other marine life.
