I was presented with old rental gear and the PADI course was lacking - felt cheated. The selection of dive site presented as a choice to the group but the instructor always end up picking regardless. Agulhas house has good & clean accommodation but it is not worth when your dive experience turns sour.

I turned up with minutes to go before the boat was due to leave (I had booked a dive with blue vision, who turned out to be badly managed with dodgy equipment and a baked dive master!). Agulhas staff were accommodating sorting me out with equipment and paperwork quickly so that I could join the group. As a visitor from... More

My son and I have just completed a brilliant adventure holiday at this well-situated diving resort south of Durban near the spectacular Aliwal Shoal. As anxious near novices - this was our first dive in an ocean - our laid-back instructor Vegard did much to make our Adventure Diving Course an experience we will long remember with pleasure. Skipper Ant... More

I went away on a diving trip weekend at Agulhas house, they were very accommodating, helpful and had excellent service. The dive masters were all fantastic, and the skipper was amazing. We had fresh muffins and OJ every morning, and then bacon and eggs after dives - really so helpful and affordable. They really care about their customers individually and... More

As probably confirmed by the ever-mounting awesome reviews, its pretty obvious to see that this is THEE place to stay at and dive with! Mickey and his team (Anthony the skipper, both divemasters Vegard and Brett, and the many behind-the-scenes people that all work together to make the stay so pleasurable) all deserve the accolades they have been given. The... More

Huge breakfasts waiting for you after a dive. Couldnt find... More

Diving in Aliwal Shoal was part of our 3 week honeymoon in December. The stay at Agulhas House was very comfortable, Mickey, Brett, Vegard and everybody who worked there are very easy going people and easily approachable. The rooms are basic, clean and comfortable. Another great thing is the free wifi that is always STRONG. The management makes sure your... More

Agulhas House is a very friendly and welcoming BB with an excellent diving centre managed in a competent and effective way. Rooms are spacious, well equipped and provide a perfect basis for divers. The nice swimming pool and the wooden gazebo in the garden are an area where non-divers can easily relax and read a good book accompanied by a... More
