    Had a great basic scuba experience with Morné and Dillan! Shark Explorers is full of easygoing individuals who are passionate about what they do. They make the theory fun, simple to understand and more than anything ensure that you have a pleasant and safe time underwater. Truly enjoyed my experience would them and would 100% recommend to anyone curious about our amazing underwater world.

  • The best experience of my life. The company was so patient in making sure that we get to see sharks underwater when other companies gave up and people had spent money to do shark diving. We spent hours in the ocean and the wait was worth it. Thank you to everyone involved in the company and ensuring that all the customers get the best experience. I would do it all over again. You taught me patience and resilience. The sharks came , got to see the spotted shark which is only seen in Cape Town, Australia and California. Thank you for changing my life and ensuring that I tick my bucket list. Can’t wait to come back and do it again.
