Big fish and big sharks...
Tailor-made South Africa Diving Holidays
South Africa is truly a year-round diving holiday destination. It can be hot and dry, cool and wet but each season delivers something unique and incredible, above and below the water. South Africa diving holidays allow much for intrepid travellers to explore; over 21 National Parks, eight World Heritage Sites, Big Five game reserves and kilometres of pristine coastline offering adventures from shark diving to surfing. South Africa is one of the great multi-centre dive holiday destinations. A fantastic holiday experience for varied and unique diving.

What divers say about diving holidays in South Africa
“Loads to do in Cape Town and the local diving is a must. Great whites, whales and seals, really different but accessible and easy. Definitely go back. Check out Muizenberg for local surf and great cafes.”
“Aliwal Shoal is a must. Sharks in the open ocean, wow.”
