Although Aqua Planet dives many reefs, our speciality PROTEA BANKS is not to be missed:
PROTEA BANKS offers an exceptionally exciting SHARK dive. Situated 7,5km off Shelly Beach, PROTEA BANKS allows ADVANCED divers the opportunity to experience a shark dive that is completely unique - sharks are not baited and no cages are used!
During the summer months the Bull Shark (Zambezi) makes PROTEA BANKS its home. Hammerheads are often seen overhead and not just one or two, we are talking hundreds .... yes hundreds. Guitar Sharks, Coppers and Blacktips frequent this reef, with a select few of divers getting the privilege of seeing the elusive Tiger Sharks.
In the winter months the Ragged-Tooth Sharks congregate on PROTEA BANKS to mate.
Aside from sharks, PROTEA BANKS also boasts a vast number of gamefish such as Barracuda, Snappers, Yellowtail, Kingfish and Potato Bass to name but a few.
Make AQUA PLANET your one-stop dive shop!
