These sharks can be viewed either at Aliwal Shoal Reef as well as at our Local reefs off Rocky Bay in Park Rynie at times you will be able to see female Ragged Tooth Sharks the whole year round! They look fierce with there long sharp teeth but are
relatively relaxed and make for excellent photo's. |

| Tiger Sharks |
These sharks are definitely one of the most awesome sharks to dive with in the
open ocean, we are one of the few countries in the world that do not use a
cage on these dives,the best time is in the summer although they are also
seen in the Winter. There can be anything from 1 - 10 Tigers on a dive. |

| Black Tip Sharks |
| Can always be seen throughout year and they can number between 5 and 30 sharks on a dive. You can either dive on a reef to view the sharks and then come up to 10m of water and do a drift dive with the sharks, one can also encounter Tiger Sharks such a dive. During the winter months, one can also encounter Dusky sharks whilst on the Shark Dive experience mentioned above. |
