South Africa's Shark Adventure Company

Delve into the mystical shark world with the Blue Wilderness team. Based on Durban’s Aliwal Shoal, we offer exhilarating shark diving adventures to everyone. Depending on your level of comfort, you can choose to either shark cage dive; snorkel cageless or don a SCUBA set for a baited shark dive. We also specialise in SCUBA diving adventures and SCUBA training, including our renowned PADI SCUBA Training Program. We aim to turn each guest into an ambassador for shark and marine conservation and we hope you’ll give us this opportunity.
