African Dive Adventures has pioneered Protea Banks since 1994 and thier priorities are safety, conservation and sheer diving pleasure.


Their expertise is to charter and lead dives at Protea Banks, a world renowned shark-diving reef which is situated 7.5 Km off Margate. They take small groups of well qualified divers to experience the thrill of a drift dive with wild sharks in their natural environment without the use of any protection such as cagesl.


African Dive Adventures is not a scuba dive centre in the traditional way. They don't have a building offering board and lodging but meet divers every morning at 7:AM in the harbour, where they park their boats and have their open-air office. After completion of paperwork, everyone will start assembling their dive equipment, and receive a thorough briefing. After that everyone heads out to Protea Banks in search of the sharsk!


African Dive Adventures constantly strives to maintain the highest possible standard of safety and professionalism. The boat always carries medical oxygen as well as all First Aid and Safety Equipment. Before each dive there is an extensive briefing with all people involved.
