Blue Ocean Dive Resort

We shared the absolutely Delicious Rib and Wing Basket. The Wings came the a Yum dipping sauce. Those ribs were the. best I have tasted in KZN. They were tender , meaty and tasty. The Service was a huge improvement . Will definitely be back shortly

Primarily, the diving here is amazing. If you are a shark diving enthusiast you must check it out. I also had multiple encounters with dolphins, turtles, many types of rays and nudibranchs too. Good selection of dive sites including wrecks, reefs and swim throughs. The convenience of living at the dive centre is a bonus, you roll out of bed and are straight in the dive centre. It gives the place a real community vibe and makes organisation of the trips as easy as possibly. Rooms are decent and have everything you need, and there is wifi in the communal areas. The restobar is a cool place to hang out, and the menu even has a page of plant based options which was perfect for me as a vegan traveller. All of this is only made possible by the AMAZING, I repeat AMAZING team making the place run. Gary and Natasha are very friendly and flexible and get everything sorted for you. The real standout of my trip has to be the dive masters Turner and Chris. I have been diving many places but they have to be the hardest working divemasters I have seen. They are funny and friendly, but beneath this they are very conscientious, helping me to feel very safe and well taken care of on my dives even in less favourable conditions. They are amazing people and provide so much value to the company. They made my trip! THANKS SO MUCH!!!

I spent 10 days at the resort which is in need of some refurbishment. The room was surprisingly good and was cleaned daily. The restaurant has a wide range of food and drinks, many people come from elsewhere to dine there. The dive centre itself is well kept but it lacks of proper communication between staff/DMs and divers. Good thing that diving in Aliwal Shoal is a gif that keeps on giving.

Honestly even that 1 star is undeserved. If I could it would be zero stars. Very unprofessional. Waited a whole hour without being told anything. Booked at 11 and at 11:57 stood up to cancel! If on vacation don’t waste your time. Find other things to do in the area.

Diving is just out of this world and the staff are incredible. From the minute we arrived till we left we felt like family. Everybody is so nice and always with a smile. Dive masters and boat skippers also giving us such an unforgettable experience. Came here hoping for some sharks but never expected the Greater Hammerhead and the Great White to be on my list and not only seeing them once but twice😀 We will be back soon 😎Thank you to all the team for such an amazing holiday.

Wreck dives, baited shark dives and reef dives were both incredible with great vis and excellently trained staff. Wide variety of sealife to see and enjoy. Accommodation newly refurbished and very comfortable. Food & drink at good prices and very tasty. Thanks guys!!!
