Featured Destinations
Cape Town
There are few places on earth where two oceans meet in such dramatic fashion. Cape Town is a city cradled between the rugged Atlantic and the warm Indian Oceans, creating a marine environment that is as unique as it is diverse. It's a place of incredible contrasts, from the thriving life in our magical kelp forests to the powerful energy of the open ocean. Join us to experience the wild heart of the Cape, where seals play, sharks cruise, and an entire world of marine life awaits.
Aliwal Shoal
Found just off the coast of KwaZulu-Natal, Aliwal Shoal is a globally renowned Marine Protected Area and a hotspot for some of the world's most impressive shark encounters. Here, you can dive with hundreds of ragged-tooth sharks during the winter months (Jun-Sep) as they gather to breed, or in the warmer summer waters with schooling hammerheads and majestic tiger sharks. Bull sharks and oceanic blacktips also frequent the reef year-round, making every dive an unpredictable and exhilarating experience.
Wild Coast
Journey to South Africa's rugged Wild Coast, a place where the ocean is truly untamed and a marine spectacle of epic proportions unfolds. This is the stage for the Sardine Run, the world’s greatest biomass migration, which attracts an incredible gathering of life. Join us to witness the chaotic beauty of dolphins, sharks, whales, and thousands of seabirds in a feeding frenzy. It's an unforgettable pilgrimage to the heart of the "Blue Serengeti."
Marico Oog
Step into a different kind of underwater world. Marico Oog, or "The Eye of Marico," is a mystical freshwater dive site surrounded by African bushveld. The crystal-clear spring-fed pools are a hidden gem, where you can swim among lily pads and schools of fish in a serene and tranquil environment. It’s a peaceful, magical contrast to the wildness of the ocean.
