Diving in South Africa

Ali Fikree · September 27th, 2007, 08:05 AM

Morning,

Can anyone recommend a good dive operator in either Cape Town or Durban in South Africa? We would like to do the Sardine Run in June. Also any suggestions on accomodation?

Thanks.

A friend of mine went out to do the sardine run a few years ago - only it didn't happen when it was "supposed" to.

So I would keep you arrangements fairly fluid :D

Hi,

In Durban area I would head for Umkomaas - a nice place to stay. If you miss the sardine run you can enjoy diving Aliwal Shoal. The aliwal shoal diving center was not bad at all and staying at La La Manzi hotel was also ok.
