COME AND DIVE THE ALIWAL SHOAL    

Umkomaas is renowned for scuba-diving launches to the famous Aliwal Shoal Reef and the two wrecks, Produce and Nebo

The apartment building is conveniently situated across the road from, and adjacent to, dive charters and restaurants,

also within walking distance from the beach, several fishing spots, Umkomaas Golf Course and shops.

Five kilometres offshore from Umkomaas lies the internationally renowned Aliwal Shoal - a fossilised sand dune of sponges, soft and hard coral - first spotted in 1849 but not adequately highlighted until after it sank the steamer Nebo in 1884. This wreck was joined almost a century later by that of the Produce, and together they add a significantly interesting dimension to this kilometre-long underwater wonderland. 


 Aliwal Shoal attracts not only a wide variety of warm and cold water fish, but also many Ragged-Tooth sharks, an awe-inspiring and surprisingly safe adventure! There has not been a single recorded shark attack on a scuba diver here, and the number of dive companies, restaurants and taverns bear witness to Aliwal Shoal's popularity.
