Aliwal is known for its various shark species such as ragged tooth sharks, tiger sharks, bull sharks and hammerheads. During a baited shark dive, divers typically descend to a designated spot where a specially prepared bait is suspended to attract sharks. The anticipation builds as you wait for these majestic creatures to arrive. The visibility is often excellent, allowing you to observe the sharks in their natural habitat.
