Sharks and Kelp forest Diving
On your dive in the magical kelp forests you can see up to 6 species of shark, many of which can only be seen in South Africa. These are spotted gully sharks, puffadder shysharks, dark shysharks, pajama catsharks, leopard catsharks and sevengill cow sharks. We also commonly see the egg cases of some of these sharks on our dives, sometimes even with the squirming shark pup inside.
