About this site

Raggie Cave — also called the A-Frame — lies on the western rim of False Bay near Miller's Point and is Cape Town's most iconic shark dive, where ragged-tooth sharks gather in an undercut rocky cavern at around 18–22 m from April through September. The cave's natural amphitheatre regularly holds five to fifteen raggies resting motionlessly, an unforgettable sight in the characteristically green Cape water. The surrounding reef offers kelp forest, pyjama sharks, octopus, and nudibranchs for those who venture beyond the cave entrance.
