Scuba Diving in South Africa, Africa

For scuba diving enthusiasts, the possibilities are endless: there are coral reefs with brightly-coloured inhabitants that enjoy the warm Indian Ocean, the wrecks of dozens of ships that struck rock along the treacherous Cape south coast, and the icy waters of the Atlantic West Coast that offer a completely different scuba-diving experience.

Sodwana Bay, along the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast, is most popular amongst divers of all levels of interest and experience. This is an enchanted coral garden teeming with rainbow-hued creatures. Although it’s the first stop for beginners, it is just as loved by intermediate and advanced divers.

Wreck-diving along the Cape south coast is the playground of advanced and highly experienced divers, as special safety precautions are necessary in this enticing ship graveyard.

Numerous inland dive-sites also attract intrepid scuba-divers wanting to wet their suits, but most of these sites are underwater cave systems and require a high level of experience to ensure optimal safety.
