Africa offers a plethora of ultimate scuba diving adventures swaggering from tropical reef diving and shark diving to wreck diving. Dive with the Great White Shark, manta rays, dolphins and turtles and explore the rugged, wild and unscathed aspect of the magically mystique underwater world. There are many great places to dive in the world but one of the most overlooked places is Africa.

There is a myriad collection of scintillating diving sites in Africa and zeroing down to one is inevitable. Each diving site poses its own identity and beneath the surface persona. There are many unique spots to visit in Africa. You can dive on both sides of the continent though a lot of the diving takes place in the Red Sea and off the islands on the eastern coast. To be sure though, no matter where you dive youll find an abundance of sea life.

One great place to dive is in the Aliwal Shoal off the coast of South Africa. The reef is named after a ship that sunk there in the 1800s. You’ll find a lot of soft corl and tropical fish here and it’s a real popular destination with divers. The Shoal has an abundance of Grey nurse sharks between August and November when the sharks come to mate.

The Seychelles also offers lots of dive opportunities for people. In the Seychelles, you can head to the Aldabra Atoll where you can dive with giant sea turtles. The warm waters of this area make it an excellent home for many tropical fish and coral reefs. In fact, the Seychelles offers some of the best diving in all of Africa. However, as the island is a luxury destination, you’ll find diving here a bit more expensive than elsewhere.

For a diving enthusiast, who desires to indulge himself/herself in coral reel diving par excellence along with a fun filled experience of watching huge Mata rays, whale sharks, eels and more, then nowhere else but the Manta coast in Mozambique could dictate and rule the kingdom of diving sites.

For dive enthusiasts, Africa has a wide range of options. You’ll be able to dive wrecks, see sharks, see schools of fish, and much more. There are plenty of places to see. One of the best parts about diving in Africa is that not many people go there so there are many unspoiled places to visit that are cheap. If you are a dive lover, make sure Africa is on your list to see.
