Blue Ocean Dive Resort

When it comes to looking fear in the face, Blue Ocean Dive Resort and its team of expert shark baiters do that every day, in fact, they would even call some of the reef's resident tiger sharks... family.

Blue Ocean Dive Resort represents the South African bond between man and mother nature. Situated on the shores of one of the most stunning natural reefs in the world, the Aliwal Shoal is the crown in a vast marine protected area. 5km off the coast of KwaZulu-Natal, this local breeding ground has long been seen as a semaphore for undisturbed bio-diversity - and home to over 1,200 species of tropical and sub-tropical fish.

A traditional Colonial hotel and respected dive centre in Umkomaas, a small coastal diving village 48km from central Durban, Blue Ocean Dive Resort welcomes guests from around the world to experience a range of dive and accommodation options that showcase this stunning marine reserve and its mean-grinned residents...

From pretty small to pretty scary, the Blue Ocean dive centre is located at the intersection of an underwater breeding ground, hosting a diverse number of mating pairs from across the Indian ocean including - White Tip Reef Sharks,  Oceanic Black Tips, Dusky Sharks, Tiger Sharks, Zambezi / Bull Sharks, Hammerhead Sharks, Ragged Tooth Sharks and even the odd visiting Great White...
