TIGER SHARK DIVING

One of South Africa’s newly proclaimed marine protected areas, the Aliwal Shoal is home to South Africa’s  Baited Shark Dives without cages:

No cages!

20-50 Black tip sharks!
1-5 Tiger sharks!
Off the hook!

Depth range 1 – 10 m/33ft

Tiger shark sizes have been recorded from 5–7 m/16-23 ft.   If you want to be astounded by the shear grace and awesome spectacle of these predators you've come to the right place. These sharks truly are sleek, beautiful and designed to perfection and Aliwal Shoal is one of the few places in the world where you can encounter these magnificent gentle creatures.
On these dives we bait for Tiger sharks with Black tip sharks joining in the fray. The dives take place early in the morning launching from the Dive Centre, and take place at a prime location just south of the Aliwal Shoal Reef. Experienced dive masters and safety divers make for a professional, safe and very enjoyable dive. Skippers share their knowledge of the ocean and  instructors share their thoughts and wisdom while we wait for action on the stem.  Please remember, the Tiger sharks do try to visit us on every dive! The black tips are always feeding.
