Shark Explorers: Bester Tour Operator für Tauchen in der False Bay und ganz Südafrika! Ein familiengeführtes, absolut professionell arbeitendes Unternehmen, das Service auf ein höheres Level hebt. Kundenorientierung wird hier mit Herzlichkeit verbunden und individuell gestaltet, absolut außergewöhnlich, ich würde gerne mehr Sterne geben! Ich war 4/24 mit einer von Wirodive durchführen und von Kirsten Clahr geleiteten Sonderreise hier in Simon's Town zum Sharkeholik. 14 Tage mit total flexibler Tagesgestaltung, je nach Wetterlage. Wann immer es wettertechnisch möglich war, sind wir zum In- oder sogar Offshorediving mit Haien u.a. gefahren. Zu Beginn unserer Reise gab es einen Sturm, so daß wir uns die ersten Tage auf die ebenso geplanten Landausflüge konzentriert haben. Auch diese waren von SharkExplorers organisiert und durchgeführt. Ein Großwildpark mit den Big5, das Kap der Guten Hoffnung und natürlich Kapstadt mit Aquarium und Hafen. Später noch die Afrikanischen Pinguine und der Tafelberg. Dann ging es endlich in's Wasser, wir tauchten im Kelp mit Katzenhaien, sahen die Breitnasen-Siebenkiemerhaie und bewunderten die unglaubliche Fülle an Leben und Farben im Kaltwasser bei 12-13° Wassertemperatur. Das sowie sämtliche Ausrüstung waren in einwandfreiem Zustand und sehr gut ausgestattet. Kapitän und Divemaster arbeiten immer erfahren und professionell, ständig bemüht alle unseren teilweise unterschiedlichen Ansprüche zu erfüllen. Eine helfende Hand war immer da, ohne das man danach fragen mußte! Bei unseren Offshorediving Ausfahren bekamen wir die Gelegenheit mit Mako- und Blauhaien zu schnorcheln, für mich ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis. Die verspielten Seelöwen bei Partridge Point und die Sichtung des Prielhaies am letzten Tag gaben dem ganzen einen schönen Abschluss im Wasser, an Land wurden wir mit einem Braai verabschiedet. "Guest's are Friends", das ist hier kein Spruch sondern Lebensphilosophie! Vielen Dank nochmal an das ganze Team, es war ein tolles Erlebnis bei euch! Leute, wenn Sharks in Südafrika, dann Shark Explorers!!! Auch der Sardin Run wird von Ihnen ab Port St. John im Juni und Juli durchgeführt.

September 16, 2023We were a bit on the fence when we found out there were no longer great whites in the area (due to orcas feeding on them) but went for it anyway and were not disappointed. It was a brilliant experience, the team were super friendly and knowledgable and we got up close and personal with 10 bronze whaler sharks (and Denis the seal!). All the equipment was in great nick and we got lots of time in time water for viewing. Would highly recommend!

We were diving with sharks explorers today and were very happy with their service. They were very friendly and tried their best to accomodate our wishes and find a good diving spot for us. Also they provided several towels and hot showers which made the cold water experience more comfortable. We also dived with another company located in Simons Town but shark explorers were by far the better choice.
