Cape Town
I am a committee member of the Atlantic Underwater Club (founded 1953). Briefly we are CMAS-affiliated: our star qualifications (SAUU) translate to those of CMAS. We teach BS-AC tables. Visitors are welcome on club dives: but we cannot provide gear unless you enrol in a course. Diving in the Cape is varied with water tempreture falling to 6 Celcius at 20 meters or so in summer. Winter diving is warmer as there are no "upwelling events" but conditions mat be rough: (winter rain and storm region). Attractions are historical wreaks from the time of Da Gama onwards, seals, great white sharks (in certain areas around xmas), cold water corals and sponges interspersed with the general pleasures of the Cape "the fairest cape" - Sir Walter Raleigh. Wine routes, scenery, etc. Guest membership is granted to all members of CMAS-affiliated clubs, such as BS-AC's. We have good facilities including boat, pool, hall, and pub. The pub is open every evening except monday. The telephone number is +27 21 439-0701.

I stopped being diving officer years ago and the contact details are not longer valid. Please post a correction. The Atlantic Underwater Club does not maintain a website but the sister club False Bay Underwater Club does: http://www.fbuc.org.za/default.asp - Richard
