At first scuba divers were paranoid about sharks... they were even seen as enemy #1 and their destruction was encouraged. Gradually, however, a growing admiration for these fearsome and chillingly beautiful creatures began to take root, and today the camera is increasingly taking the place of the speargun and other instruments of death.
The KwaZulu-Natal coast of South Africa has always been a popular destination for scuba diving enthusiasts from around the world with colourful sub-tropical coral reefs, shipwrecks, sharks and a stunning variety of sea life to be found. Added attractions are the pleasant all year round climate, the warm, clear water and excellent back up in terms of infrastructure and facilities.
Based in Park Rynie and launching from Rocky Bay, +-45km's South of Durban on the Natal South Coast, Offshore Africa offers all avid scuba divers and particularly those with a passion for diving with sharks, a Professional, safe and friendly dive charter service. Rocky Bay is regarded as one of the best kept scuba diving secrets of the (KZN) Natal coast. Much like Aliwal Shoal (which is still accessible from Rocky Bay) the reef systems off Rocky Bay are abundant in colourful soft coral and are fossilized sand dunes that have been worn away over the years, creating drop-offs, gullies, caves, overhangs and ledges.... teeming with sea life, and attracting big game fish and numerous predatory sharks.
