Aliwal Shoal is Durban’s prime diving destination and attracts divers from around the world. Dive boats launch from the south of Amanzimtoti, to get to the reef which is about 4km long and lies some 5km offshore, with depths ranging from 5m to 35m. The reef has many gullies, overhangs, caves and shelves which are home to a vast array of marine life, including Tiger, Ragged Tooth, and Grey Reef Sharks. Two wrecks lying near the shoal – the Produce and Nebo – provide divers with alternative underwater experiences. Local dive operators will provide equipment and accredited training, and will introduce you to the wonders that lie beneath the waves. There are a number of schools at Umkomaas who offer dive lessons, equipment hire, and will take you to the site. http://www.aliwalshoal.co.za/ ; http://www.oceanworx.co.za/ ; http://www.aliwalshoal.com/ ; http://www.divealiwal.co.za/
