This is one of the South Africa’s most picturesque location, and one of the greatest diving destinations in the world. Aliwal Shoal has plenty to offer to the serious divers taking flights to South Africa, with most of them choosing Durban international airport in the region. The place is inundated with vibrant marine life that includes delightful dolphins, whale sharks, tiger sharks and moray eels etc. It is also home to the vulnerable ragged tooth sharks.

Uniforms, Sodwana Bay, Kwazulu Natal

This pristine diving location is well renowned for being one of the safest diving destinations. Uniforms boast of vibrant coral diversity and spoils divers with spectacular ocean charmers such as purple butterfly fish, tiger angelfish and so on. The best time for diving at Uniforms is between the months of April and September. For those enterprising tourists bagging flights tickets for holidays to South Africa during the months of December and January, this site holds a pleasant treat for them.

Avalanche Reef, Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape

Avalanche Reef is a well known diving destination, also famous for its outstanding coastline scenery. It not only offers superb diving, but also a gamut of other water activities to the water enthusiasts buying air tickets for the region. The temperature at Avalanche sometime dips down to teeth chattering and body shivering degrees, so it is recommended to rent a dry suit to avoid feeling cold. A plunge into the reef densely populated by amazing sea creatures takes the visitors into the hypnotic journey of exploring the colourful flora and fauna of the excellent marine world. No wonder, Avalanche Reef is a prominent diving destination in the itineraries of travellers grabbing deals on tickets aboard South Africa flights.
