Tiger shark dives is one of the top 10 best dives in the world, and we've been in the business since 1995, These sharks truly are sleek, beautiful and designed to perfection. Aliwal Shoal is one of the few places in the world where you can encounter these magnificent creatures.

Experienced Divemasters and safety divers make for a professional, safe and very enjoyable dive. Your adventure begins with up to more than 50 Black tip sharks swimming around the bait bucket with some amazing Dusky sharks to be seen as well, even the occasional Bull Shark. But wait for the famous Tiger shark with its beautiful dark, vertical stripes. Expect to see up to 8 off them at a time. As we enter the warmer seasons in South Africa we can expect an increase in the number of Tiger sharks along our coast. So if you have the desire for an adventure please contact us for more info.
