About Miller's Point

Miller's Point is located in front of the Cape Boat and Ski Club clubhouse on the road from Simon's Town to Cape Point. Due to the protected location of the site, the water is usually clear and calm. There are several easy entry and exit points in the sheltered waters of the tidal pool and launch site. The reefs consist of low walls and gullies covered in marine growth and kelp. The marine life is at it's most colourfull on the blinder, further out to the east, approximately 200m from shore. There is a large amount of boat traffic in the area and it is essential to dive with a marker buoy and Alpha flag.

Dive Site Hazards

  • Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.

  • Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.

  • Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.

  • Unstable Visual Ascents — Relying on wall visuals can destabilise ascents.

  • Gradual Depth Creep — Lack of visual bottom reference can cause unnoticed descent.

  • Unsignalled Downcurrents — Downcurrents can form without visible indicators.
