Has anyone dived Umhlanga or Ballito? I have been hearing rumours about some pretty decent diving aroung there, but no-one seems to know anything for sure.

Jip ive dived there. Its a awesome place to go dive, there are many wrecks you can go dive there and there is ushaka marine were you can go dive in the big tanks with the sharks or whatever. I mostly dive by the fontao wreck its amazing there is alot of see life there and its just a very fun dive to go do. I go do it every time I go to umhlanga and thats quite alot and I still enjoy it.

Hope I helped you. ENJOY

Jip Calypso is the best in south Africa be sure to go with them but if your going to be on the Umhlanga beach then other guys to look at is 36 degrees there situated on the beach and there service is great. www.calypso.co.za www.36degrees.co.za . ENJOY

Another place that you must try when you are in the area is aliwal shoal its rated as one of the top 10 dive sites in the world. Aliwal Dive Centre, scuba diving charter, dive school and PADI 5 star Instructor Development Centre
