African Dive Adventures have pioneered Protea Banks since 1994 and our priorities are safety, conservation and sheer diving pleasure. Our main purpose is to charter and lead dives at Protea Banks, a world renowned shark-diving reef which is situated 7.5 Km off Margate. We take small groups of well qualified divers to experience the thrill of a drift dive with wild sharks in their natural environment without the use of any protection at all. We also charter and lead dives to various inshore reefs if the conditions are favourable.

African Dive Adventures constantly strives to maintain the highest possible standard of safety and professionalism. Our boat always carries medical Oxygen as well as all First Aid and Safety Equipment. Before each dive we do an extensive briefing with all people involved.

It is our mission to fight for the conservation of Protea Banks, the inshore reefs and their inhabitants such as the sharks, the dolphines, the whales and all the other creatures down the line. We believe in ECO-Tourism and ECO-Education of all our divers from near and far. We do not touch the reef or any fish and do not allow any unqualified or inexperienced people to dive with us in the interest of safety and conservation. We do not pollute the sea, and if we find any pollution on our trips out at sea, we go all the way to remove it whenever possible.

We protest strongly against the unnecessary killing of sharks and dolphines by trophy-hunters, gillnets and ignorant fishermen.
