Cow and Calf is a nice, relaxing dive and one of the first dive sites many students are taking. Sometimes referred to as a "training site", Cow and Calf is grossly underrated. It gets its name from the two largest parts of this reef which, when viewed from the road, look like a mother (cow) whale and her calf. The diving site consists of a small-ish reef surrounded by boulders.

What to look out for: Orange sea fans, seals, cuttlefish, octopus, kolstert fish, red roman and hottentot. Loads of different types of nudibranchs, including the orange and white and blue and yellow gasflame nudibranch, chocolate chip nudibranchs, cape dorid, orange nudibranch, inkspot nudibranch. A beautiful and relaxing dive site.
