Protea Banks

Inserted/Added by: african_dive_adventures

The best months to see Tiger Sharks are April and May, although we see Tiger Sharks right through the year. South Africa is one of only three countries in the world offering this kind of diving. Using a baiting technique that closely resembles the shark's natural feeding habit, Divers as well as snorkellers and non-divers can share in the experience. Here we encounter Tigersharks and Bullsharks from very close up. Perfect for photography and for close observations of shark's behaviour.

The really lucky diver may even encounter the odd Great White which is an absolute privilege. Roland Mauz: "It took me over 500 dives to get that lucky and despite everybody's totally unfounded fear, the Great White behaves just like any other shark, swimms past, looks what's going on and carries on his mission. The feeling is indescribable!!"

Protea Banks has been rated by many divers from around the world as the best shark dive. Many divers are scared of sharks due to horror stories and myths created by the movie world, but their fears are totally unfounded. Sharks are intelligent animals, do not recognise us as a food source and generally tend to be shy and respectful towards the divers. Roland: "I have done over 1250 dives at Protea Banks and never have once felt threatened by any shark or groups of sharks."
