About Diving the Cape Peninsula and False Bay
The City of Cape Town was founded at the northern end of theCape Peninsula, a narrow mountainous strip of land at the most 11km wide and just over 50km long. The northern border is the coast of Table Bay, a large open bay with a single island,Robben Island, in its mouth. The city has expanded and as of 2022 extends over the entire Cape Peninsula, and the whole way across the north shore and about halfway down the east shore of False Bay. A ragged coastline marks the western border along the Atlantic ocean. A number of small bays are found along the coast with a single large one,Hout Bay, about half way along. Further south the peninsula narrows until it comes to an end at Cape Point. A range of mountains with Table Mountain at 1,085m at the northern end forms the backbone of the peninsula.
