The Cape Town Dive Festival is going to be held again this year on Friday the 2nd and Saturday the 3rd of May at Seaforth Beach. It's R100 to register and between R100 and R175 per dive if you register/ book before the 1st of April. All the details can be found here: Festival Info | Cape Town Dive Festival
I found out about the festival on SB user SHiBBY's website: Diver's Digest. Thursday the 1st of May is a public holiday, so the festival makes a good excuse for taking a day off on Friday for a super-long, diving-filled weekend. There are boats launching to a variety of sites every ten minutes between 8:00 AM and 2:30 PM, so, if you have the energy and plan carefully, you could probably squeeze three or even four dives in each day. I missed the last festival, which was held in September 2012, so I'm very keen to attend this one. I think May is the better time of year -- there should be enough north-wester to clean up False Bay, but it won't be as cold as in the middle of winter.
