TOURISM
South Africa has a wealth of ocean-related activities for local and international tourists.
PENGUINS
The African penguin colony at Simonstown makes several million Rand each year in ticket sales at the gate.
DIVING
South Africa’s oceans have species that occur nowhere else on earth and offer incredible ocean encounters with seabirds, turtles, sharks, rays and other creatures. South Africa’s seascapes include beautiful reefscapes, underwater forests and canyons home to ‘Pre-historic’ coelacanths. Scuba divers report having a much richer diving experience when they don’t have to compete with anglers, as the fish life is more diverse and abundant.
Interesting marine life
Many tourists come to South Africa to see the many species of sharks, whales, dolphins, seahorses and nudibranchs.
