Diving off the east coast of South Africa, more particularly the KwaZulu-Natal coastline and Transkei coastline, is nothing short of exhilirating and that is not even taking into account the magnificent shark diving, year round, to be had in this area.

For starters, the annual sardine run takes place off the Transkei coastline, usually from early June until as late as late August and into September and this offers not only the amazing nature spectacle of the migration of the sardines, it also comes with sharks and lots of them, in conjunction with the migration of the Humpback whales, ocean birds and all good things that follow food. Not to mention the stunningly beautiful scenery of this coastline in all it's drama.

Seychelles, one of the world’s very last frontiers, promises adventure and breathtaking natural beauty in pristine surrounds still untouched by man.

The Seychelles Islands are an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, consisting of approximately 115 islands, extend from between 4 and 10 degrees south of the equator and lie between 480km and 1,600km from the east coast of Africa in the western Indian Ocean. The Seychelles offer timeless beauty, tranquillity and harmony that is famous for its amazing white beaches and for a great natural diversity both above and below the water line.
There are two main island clusters - usually referred to as the Inner and Outer islands. The Inner islands are a granite group, with the largest being Mahe. The 41 Inner Islands constitute the oldest mid-oceanic granite islands on earth.

Scuba diving in Fiji is like air is to breathing. Once you have experienced our wonder-world of water you will need to, not want to, repeat the experience – just like breathing. Fiji is world renowned as “The Soft Coral Capital of the World” but that’s only a small part of our story.

Every Island Tells a Story
Our 333 islands and atolls are embraced by a network of brilliant coral reefs. From shallow coral enclaves, home to hundreds of different types of corals and sponges and resident micro-denizens of the deep to spectacular bommies with cascading corals draped like exquisite, fragile chandeliers to deep, dramatic drop-offs that disappear into darkness.

Every Creature Plays a Role
With around 1000 species of fish and several hundred types of coral and sponges, an apparently endless array of anemones, molluscs, crustaceans and other invertebrates, Fiji is the ‘smorgasbord of world diving.’ But don’t lets restrict ourselves to the joy and pleasure of reef diving. Venture into reef passages and come face to face with the ‘big boys’ of the deep blue. Grey Reef sharks, Silvertips, Hammerheads and White Tips all competing for “a piece of the pie” as they move in slow motion, patiently waiting for schools of pelagic fish to dare to venture into their lair. And if you’d like to get to know them a bit better and at closer range, expect an adrenalin rush as you dive with the sharks observing experienced divers carry out the famous ‘shark feeding.’ Definitely not for the weak at heart.
