Day Dives
Not only do we offer diving and accommodation packages but we also cater to those who want to just dive. Join us in the morning at the pre-arranged time for coffee and toast while kitting up and part take in the chosen number of dives for that day. Ask our dive centre about a 5 or 10 dive package at discounted rates.
Dive with us for an unforgettable experience
Dives generally take place in the mornings to take advantage of the best sea conditions. Coffee and breakfast is served in our restaurant.
We use rubber ducks (zodiacs/ribs) with a maximum of 8 divers, a divemaster and skipper on the boat to access the Aliwal Shoal Dive Sites. The ride out to sea is around 7km from the Mkomazi River mouth which takes about 10-15mins.
Aliwal Shoal forms the crown of a Marine Protected Area, meaning that no form of fishing is allowed on the dive sites. Divers are not allowed to touch the reef, any of the animals or take anything other than a shark teeth from the sand.
