We wish to bring to your attention that Scuba diving as well as Shark diving are purely weather related. We therefore cannot guarantee that you will be able to dive on any specific day. We further wish to remind you that Sharks are wild animals who live in their own environment and have the entire world’s oceans as their playgrounds. We are therefore unable to guarantee sighting of the animals even though we are reputed to have some of the greatest Shark populations in the world.
