Incredible Coastline

The South African coastline has so much to offer that it is deserving of close attention. South Africa offers a wide variety of watersports, marine wildlife, and beautiful beaches thanks to its roughly 3000 kilometers of coastline and location between two very different oceans.

The South African coast is home to a wide variety of some of the top diving locations in the entire globe. Everyone can find something they enjoy, whether they prefer calm shore dives or heart-pounding diving with a group of bait and hungry Great White Sharks. At Cape Town, sharks, pelagic species, wrecks and reefs invite you to the southernmost tip of the African continent. The best chances to see great white sharks are in Gansbaai, which is east of Cape Town. Port Elizabeth is the starting point for difficult dives to uncover the mysterious, unidentified wreckage at Gunner's Rock.
