This was our second time here, and it’s so incredible that we’re already planning to come back every year! The diving experience is simply out of this world - expert dive masters, skilled skippers, and an underwater paradise like no other. From thrilling shark encounters (blacktip, whitetip, bull, reef sharks, and more!) to majestic mantas, graceful rays, and vibrant schools of fish, every dive is an adventure. Macro lovers will be in heaven too, with nudibranchs and even millimeter-sized marine wonders - perfect for photographers and videographers alike. Beyond diving, the resort itself is just as amazing. The apartments are nice and comfortable, with brand-new bathrooms, air conditioning, and reliable Wi-Fi. And the food? Absolutely delicious! Best of all, the price for a 10-day diving trip is surprisingly affordable. So, my final words? I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Mein langjähriger Tauchpartner und ich waren fast 3 Wochen zu Gast in der Tauchbasis und Hotel. Uns hat der Aufenthalt sehr gut gefallen! Das ganze Basisteam ist sehr hilfsbereit, sehr nett und immer zur Stelle - Top! Die 3 Tauchguides, Chris, Georgia und Turner haben das sehr gut im Griff und bieten abwechslungsreiche Tauchgänge an - super! Vor allem das Tauchen mit Haien ist ein fantastisches Erlebnis! Das Meer ist ziemlich rau, d.h. recht wellig was man auch unterwasser gut mitbekommt. Die Fahrt mit dem Zodiac durch die hohe Brandung ist ebenfalls abenteuerlich und nicht jedermanns Sache. Eine Reisetablette gegen Übelkeit kann da helfen. Die Skipper sind Profis und können die Wellen richtig „lesen“. Das Hotel ist einfach und die Zimmer sind gemütlich. Auch im Restaurant findet wohl jeder etwas gutes zu essen. Auch gute Weine fehlen nicht. Wir können abenteuerlustigen Tauchern den Aufenthalt in dieser Basis und dem Hotel nur weiterempfehlen.

I spent 10 days at the resort which is in need of some refurbishment. The room was surprisingly good and was cleaned daily. The restaurant has a wide range of food and drinks, many people come from elsewhere to dine there. The dive centre itself is well kept but it lacks of proper communication between staff/DMs and divers. Good thing that diving in Aliwal Shoal is a gif that keeps on giving.

Honestly even that 1 star is undeserved. If I could it would be zero stars. Very unprofessional. Waited a whole hour without being told anything. Booked at 11 and at 11:57 stood up to cancel! If on vacation don’t waste your time. Find other things to do in the area.

My first time diving at Aliwal Shoal. Blue Ocean Dive Resort was fantastic. Thank you dive master Chris and all the Blue Ocean Dive Resort staff for your friendly service. Rented equipment was very good. Skipper was amazing and the dive was very special.

Das Blue Ocean Dive Resort (dive with us - stay with us) zeichnet sich nicht nur durch hohe Qualität und Service aus. Neben einer TOP Ausstattung sind es vor allem die motivierten und hilfsbereiten Menschen vor Ort (egal ob Divecenter, Guides, Chef, Service, Restaurant, ...), die das Kundenherz höher schlagen lassen. Mein Mann und ich fühlten uns sehr gut aufgehoben und als Teil des Teams - von Anfang an bis zum Schluss. Wenn man einen Wunsch hatte, wurde versucht, diesen zu erfüllen (egal ob ob es das Zimmer oder das Tauchen betraf). Die Zimmer werden alle nach und nach renoviert und sind sehr schön und liebevoll eingerichtet. Auch das Essen war immer sehr schmackhaft und qualitativ hochwertig und wurde frisch zubereitet. Das Tauchen mit dem Zodiac vom Fluss / Strand aus ist immer ein Erlebnis; insbesondere der Ritt durch die Brandung. Die Skipper wissen genau, was sie tun und kennen fast jede Welle. Die Guides sind sehr gut ausgebildet bzw. haben auch eine langjährige Erfahrung (wie Rae zum Beispiel). Dies kommt dann auch den Tauchern selbst zugute. Tauchen ins Südafrika ist nicht für "Sissis". Das stimmt. Es ist generell anspruchsvoll und kein Badewannentauchen (eher manchmal wie in einer Waschmaschine ;-) "insider vor Ort". Es ist immer wieder ein gutes Erlebnis und macht auf jeden Fall Spaß. Wer Haie sehen will, wird hier nicht enttäuscht. Bei (fast) jedem Tauchgang hatten wir welche sehen können. 7mm und Kopfhaube sind Pflicht (wir hatten 20-22 Grad Wassertemperatur). Die Oberflächenpausen finden selbstredend auf dem Zodiac statt und getaucht wird mit Nitrox, wobei man die Flaschengröße frei wählen kann. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen - wir planen wiederzukommen.

Entre las instalaciones, la comida, las inmersiones y nuestras estupendas guías de buceo, no pudimos salir más contentos. Sin duda, repetiremos algún día porque, este sitio, lo merece. Nos atendieron estupendamente, queríamos ver tiburones y no hubo un sólo día, ni casi ninguna inmersión, en la que no viésemos alguno. Un gran equipo muy profesional.

Diving is just out of this world and the staff are incredible. From the minute we arrived till we left we felt like family. Everybody is so nice and always with a smile. Dive masters and boat skippers also giving us such an unforgettable experience. Came here hoping for some sharks but never expected the Greater Hammerhead and the Great White to be on my list and not only seeing them once but twice😀 We will be back soon 😎Thank you to all the team for such an amazing holiday.

Met onze duikclub zijn we hier 6 dagen komen duiken, overnachten en eten. De slogan van dit resort (we are a family) is niet gestolen : van dag 1 voel je je thuis en iedereen doet alles om je goed te voelen. Het minste probleem wordt direct verholpen voor je. Wij hebben er gedoken met Garry en Rae Rae, die ons alles getoond hebben waarvoor we gekomen waren. De divemasters spoelen je materiaal steeds uit en er is voor alles een plekje. Alhoewel het duiken hier best pittig en fysiek is, was dit een hele mooie vakantie. Een dikke dank u aan Garry, Rae, Natasja, de divemaster meiden en de super leuke dames in de bistro!
