About this trip

Aliwal Shoal delivers big-animal diving: raggies, reef sharks and, in season, the legendary sardine run action. Wreck and deep dives round out a trip that's on every serious diver's list. If you haven't dived Aliwal, you haven't dived South Africa.

Raggies on the shoal — Aliwal's headline act.
