Inside Edge - Aliwal Shoal
★★★★☆
(888)
The inside edge of Aliwal Shoal rises from the sand forming a fantastic landscape of pinnacles, gullies, swim-throughs, and caverns. Some of the best diving in Africa is found on the Aliwal Shoal. It is home to a diverse array of marine life.
An underwater photographer’s dream, clownfish filled anemones and multi-colored nudibranchs fill the landscape.
