Scuba Diving in South Africa, Africa
South Africa is aptly nicknamed The Rainbow Nation. It is indeed a country blessed with an assortment of colour in many aspects. It has many cultures and languages, people of many races living harmoniously together, it is spoiled with a variety of natural attractions, has any experience that you can dream about under the sun and has an intriguing blend of the European and African lifestyles.
You will struggle to count countries that are as well endowed with natural attractions as much as South Africa is.
A complete desert turns into the richest natural floral city in the world almost overnight in Spring only, two oceans meet at the tip of a major city, a place had to be aptly named God’s Window because it is literally a window to one of the most breathtaking views you can ever imagine, awesome scenery is within an almost walking distance from any city, so many beaches some have yet to be explored and the big five roam in any national park that you can find across the country.
