Shark Diving at uShaka Marine World in Durban, South Africa.
Immerse yourself in the exciting world of sharks at the ushaka theme park on Durban’s popular beachfront.
Most sharks are endangered, and this experience is sure to change your perception of them. It’s a great first step to overcoming your fear of these graceful but intimidating creatures.
Head to uShaka’s Xpanda Shark Dive aquarium where friendly staff will get you ready for your total immersion. The cleverly designed Xpanda cage gives you complete protection from the sea creatures in the tank without giving you a sense of separation which would take away the intensity of the experience. You don’t have to be a competent swimmer to take part in this activity, in fact, many of our guests can’t even swim.
You’ll see fierce ragged-tooth sharks, spinner sharks, hammerheads, and powerful silvertip sharks. If you look carefully, you’ll see the flattish sand sharks lurking down near the aquarium floor. Sharks aren’t the only amazing creatures in the tank. There are brindle bass weighing over 350-kilograms keeping them company.
