Yesterday (12 August 2020), we received official communication that Blue Wilderness is permitted to re-open and offer our shark adventures once again.
In addition to ensuring our guests safety (through following Covid-19 regulations), Blue Wilderness’s next top priority to to ensure that we can offer you the same incredible shark and diving adventures that we have become renowned for. In this regard, our scientists have being monitoring marine life on the Aliwal Shoal, and recorded significant changes in the presence, behaviour and density of some shark species as a consequence of diver / boat absence. As such, our shark and marine adventures will be sequentially re-opened only once we are satisfied we can offer guests a great service and great shark adventure. Please view our shark and marine adventures to see which are open for business, and which remain temporally closed.
