At world famous Aliwal Shoal, in Umkomaas near Durban,you can SCUBA dive with the charismatic tiger sharks and see their blue-silver stripes for yourself. Seeing a tiger shark sliding silently past you shimmering in the filtering sun rays and the blue water, is the main goal of this baited tiger shark dive with Blue Wilderness.
Guests are requested to meet our team at the Shark Center at 7am. There will be a safety debriefing and gear fitting before heading out to launch. Tiger sharks are a cautious shark, and frequently chumming must occur for a number of hours to attract them to a boat and divers. During this shark diving activity you’ll be on a shallow SCUBA dive, drifting along just under the surface watching the sharks as they glide effortlessly, dorsal fins slicing the water.
Located: 34 Egerton Road, Freeland Park, Scottburgh.
