Durban ScubaDive center

Durban Scuba is a boutique PADI Dive Center on Durban's coastline in South Africa, built around small groups and local knowledge. Its dives cover Durban's own reefs and Aliwal Shoal along the KwaZulu-Natal coast, where ragged-tooth sharks, rays and turtles turn up.

It sits beside a heated indoor swim school, so training starts in the pool before moving to the ocean, and there is a coffee shop attached for the social side. Beyond scuba, the center offers technical diving, mermaid courses and snorkeling, all taught in English.
