Things to do: Driving at Aliwal Shoal










Just five kilometers offshore lies the Aliwal Shoal. The Aliwal Shoal is a fossilized sand dune of sponges, soft and hard coral. At Aliwal Shore is also the wreck of the steamer Nebo and that of Produce. Together these two ship wrecks add an interesting dimension to this kilometer-long under water wonderland.

At Aliwal Shore you will find a wide variety of warm and cold water fish. There are also many Ragged-Tooth sharks, however, even with the sharks it is a surprisingly safe adventure. In fact, there have not been any shark attacks on scuba divers visiting this internationally-renowned spot.
