Dive with penguins in Cape Town?

[ttting]

Hi,

I plan to travel to Cape Town this year, want to dive with the local creatures like fur seal, seven gill shark...
I heard that Cape Town can see penguins, was wondering is it possible to dive with penguins? Did anyone heard about it?

I will appreciate if any advice, thanks.

It's very easy to see penguins on land in Cape Town at the sanctuary at Boulders Beach. But they're very shy in the water, so it's very unlikely you'd see one on a dive. I haven't tried diving near the penguin colony myself, but I have snorkelled there many times -- I haven't yet spotted a penguin in the water.

But if you do want to try your luck, this dive site would be your best option: Penguin Point travel guide - Wikitravel.
