Enchanting kelp forestsThe underwater environment off Southern Africa’s coast (3,000 km of coastline) is one of the richest and most diverse in the world, ranging from vibrant coral reefs to enchanting kelp forests. 

What a perfect world in the deep blue sea! In the warm tropical waters of Aliwal Shoal, you can see sharks, barracuda, sailfish, marlin, parrotfish, stingrays, dolphins, turtles and whales, or explore the abundant soft coral and view 1,300 species of tropical fish, sea turtles and dolphins at Sodwana Bay

Marvel at the sea anemones, clownfish, turtles, stingrays and pajama sharks at the miniature Staghorn Coral Gardens. Here's a good link for more information of popular dive sites in Southern Africa... click on route maps on the left.

Diving in Southern Africa

Explore the many sunken sailing ships, remnants of historical expeditions, around the Cape. And for the truly adventurous, shark dives and safaris are available. Just outside Cape Town, you can go on thrill-seeking Great White dives in fully-enclosed cages that descend 40-50 feet. 

Kwa-Zulu Natal and the Cape provinces are dive centers with world class facilities. If you want to learn to scuba dive, top-notch diving schools are available at most coastal resorts. If you aren’t a diver, snorkeling is a fun and easy way to explore the ocean’s rich marine life.
