South Africa’s endless stretches of pristine beaches on both sides of its shores are a major reason why travellers descend on these shores each year. South Africa’s jagged coastlines are framed by white or honey golden sands and boasts magnificent and largely unspoilt views. The coasts feature a number of ancient ship wrecks, which double as important historical discoveries leading to the acquisition of rusted underwater aquariums.
As a result, scuba diving, along with many other water activities, are a favourite past time in South Africa with such expeditions being thrilling and exhilarating. To scuba through the country’s Indian and Atlantic waters filled with their vibrant colours and indigenous as well as exotic marine life is one of the greatest privileges Mother Nature can offer. Witness the most supreme water mammals in the world with the whale and dolphin regular visitors to both coastlines, while turtles dodge fierce predators such as sharks, mantras, and rays in the Indian Ocean. Another riveting option is the night time diving expeditions where the mission is to seek out and explore under water caves.
