All inclusive. 9 Nights, 10 Days, 16 Dives (minimum)

The Unlimited Aliwal Shoal Diving Adventure package is designed for the real die-hard, I wanna see everything diver. This package maximises your dives and dive sites to give you the best Aliwal Shoal experience possible. Aliwal Shoal boasts the most diverse marine life in the world. Because it is also a Marine Protected Area the abundance of life is simply awe inspiring. Aliwal Shoal is home to many different Shark and Ray species all year round. Add to this, 2 of the best wreck dive sites Aliwal Shoal offers a diver diving unmatched by any other location.

On the Unlimited Aliwal Shoal Diving Adventure you will get to dive all the best dive sites on the Aliwal Shoal Reef System. You will get to dive on our Southern Reefs (conditions dependent) which are deeper and more advanced dive sites for added adventure. These reefs are very seldom dived, and as a result teaming with life. Our 2 awesome wreck dives on Aliwal Shoal, the MV Produce (sank 1974) @ 32m and the Nebo (sank 1884) @ 24m, also make for awesome dives. Last but not least you will get to do several baited shark dives.
