Water sports in Durban

Don't want to lie on the beach? Durban offers a variety of water sports!

Although the resort offers many types of water activities, Durban is known as the diving capital of South Africa. Visibility underwater in the coastal waters of the resort is 15-20 meters regardless of the season. There are many coral reefs here, and in summer large groups of whale sharks cruise the local waters.

By the way, the density of sharks in local waters here is the highest in the world. Therefore, even diving into the water once, you can see white, dusky, sand, copper, tiger sharks. Also in June-August there is a sardine migration off the coast, followed by commercial fish, dolphins, sharks, birds and even whales. You can watch this spectacle from the shore or from a boat in open waters for 50 USD.
