The First Choice Shark Cage Diving Operator For:
The Great African Seaforests are truly beautiful and serene. These forests are tall and are home to a large variety of marine life including Gully shark, Shy shark, Pyjama shark, crabs and many species of fish. In between the African Seaforests are stunning reefs, with gullies and swim-throughs.
These forests fulfil a similar function to their California counterparts, providing food and shelter for a wealth of marine life, ranging from commercial species like lobster, crayfish and abalone to top predators like the Cape fur seal. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the Great African Seaforest is the variety of shark species that call these pseudo-arboreal environments home. The Great African Seaforests are home to a number of rarely seen shark species, including the charismatic pyjama catshark and the Shy spotted-gully shark.
These snorkeling experiences require no previous experience but swimming ability is essential.
It’s a super safe and personalized experience as we have a maximum of 4 persons on the dive.
We also offer seal snorkeling tour and de hoop whale watching.ores
