This time we propose a wild trip. A week of diving in the area of Aliwal Shoal, one of the areas of the planet where we can find more sharks: Oceanic black tips, tigers and the famous raggies, as well as turtles, huge groupers, bottlenose dolphins and even manta rays!


Aliwal Shoal is a reef teeming with many types of hard and soft corals and other marine invertebrates, with a myriad of tropical and subtropical fish species.


But it is not only reef diving that can be enjoyed in this area. Two wrecks can be found near the reef that are very popular all over the world. The Norwegian bulk carrier MV Produce and the SS Nebo.


This wonderful area has all kinds of marine life. But if it is famous for anything, it is for its abundance of grey nurse sharks, known as ragged-tooth sharks or raggies. They can be found between the months of May and December.

AGULHAS HOUSE

The original house was designed by an Italian architect in the early 1900’s as an office and medical practice. The property was purchased in 2002 and so began the ongoing process of renovation to convert the property into a guest house and dive lodge. There is a dive centre on site which creates a unique window to cover all travel and diving needs.

 

The design ethos behind Agulhas was to create accommodation that respects the quality expected by today’s discerning traveller and diver. Their passion for quality and service is passed on to the Dive Centre, where we see over 25 years of experience in running a successful dive operation and worldwide diving experience to ensure that the best diving service is offered.
