About The Slipway

Off Humewood beach in the city of Nelson Mandela Bay. A very popular dive site for beginners on the steel remains of an old tug launch. The maize of twisted steel and concrete offer something to look at as it's flanked by beach and sand. Colourful seaweeds and Nudibranchs can be found in the holes in the sides and one may even see the occasional octopus. A safe dive and popular night dive training ground.
