Two Oceans Kelp Tank

About this dive site

This dive site is the Two Oceans Aquarium's Kelp Forest exhibit, a large tank simulating a kelp forest ecosystem. Navigation is straightforward as it's a contained environment. There is no history of this specific site beyond its creation as an aquarium exhibit. The exhibit aims to educate visitors about the marine life found in South African kelp forests.

The marine animals visible include sleeper sharks, pajama sharks, and rockhopper penguins. Various fish species typical of a kelp forest habitat are also present, though specific species would require further information about the Aquarium's stock. The kelp itself is a major feature of the environment.

The best time to visit the aquarium is anytime, as it's an indoor facility with consistent conditions. For freedivers, the shallow, controlled environment is ideal for practice and training. Divers should remember this is a controlled environment, so normal dive safety procedures are relaxed.
