Diving at Protea Banks is not typical resort diving: The dive sites are at considerable depths and sometimes have strong currents. You definitely need a safety-conscious dive operator and a great dive site. Encounters with sharks are more than frequent and Roland is a true “safety fanatic”. Encounters with sand tiger sharks are almost guaranteed (sometimes they are even more abundant than in Umkoomas), and, if you are lucky, you will be able to see bull sharks, hammerheads and sometimes even a Great White.
Protea Banks is one of Gerhard’s favorite spots. He has already visited Protea Banks three times and still hasn’t stopped talking about it.
If you would like to combine your stay at Protea Banks with interactive shark diving, you can also book through Greenmarine. There are special shark workshops in 2004.
