Shark Diving

The raggies usually visit Sodwana between November and February.
As for all natural activities it is not a guaranteed presence and should be enjoyed to the full when it occurs. 

The KZNNCS only allow one boat at a time to visit the raggies site and you must have an approved divemaster.

We will book with them on your behalf.

The cost is the same as for a two mile dive

          Please respect their space by following these rules.

  1. Keep out of the caves and overhangs, where the sharks are resting.

  2. Don't block the shark's exits or wedge the shark towards the reef.

  3. NEVER feed or use bait, or by-catch to attract sharks.

  4. The sharks are often inquisitive. Should a shark approach, breathe slow and easy, keep still, do not use hands to maintain buoyancy and ENJOY the privilege

  5. A fast moving shark can be an agitated shark. Stay together and move with a slow and steady rhythm, keep relaxed and move away if necessary.

  6. Respect and enjoy the shark, view so that they are undisturbed for the next group to enjoy.

  7. Sharks are masters of their environment, we are not in their food chain. Respect means understanding the marine rhythm and blend with the shark's environment.
