Description
Shark sightings and interactions are almost guaranteed on every dive with African Dive Adventures.

African Dive Adventures was established in 1994 and is the real pioneers of Protea Banks. Our dive masters and skippers are very well trained and experienced . They will charm you with their own brand of hospitality that will make you want to come back for more.
Due to current and depth you need to be an advanced diver with at least 35 logged dives. Best also if you have dived in the last year. Apart from our reef dives we also offer adrenaline rush Baited Dives. If you enjoy real close encounters with sharks, then this is the dive for you.
