About this list

If you want to go scuba diving with dolphins in South Africa, the useful question is not whether the dolphins are there but who will take you to them that way. Maptlantis lists only the 3 operators in South Africa that name the dolphin as a target species and actually run scuba diving. 2 of the 3 operators (67%) publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare those directly; ask the rest. Estimated prices are not shown. Most operators list year-round operation, but whether boats go out depends on the sea on the day. Operators with structured encounter data list shark, whale, dolphin, seal and african penguin as target species. Ways to meet them: boat-based watching, cage observation, scuba diving and snorkeling. Whether you may enter the water and what distance rules apply differ by country and operator. Check the program details and legal status on each operator page first.
