Sharks are under threat and the world is at last getting concerned. Home to many thousands of sharks and some spectacular dive sites is South Africa's Natal Coast, which includes the celebrated Aliwal Shoal. At the invitation of the Natal Sharks Board, the British-based Scientific Exploration Society is to undertake a comparative shark population study there from mid-May to mid-June, so if you want to get close to raggies, bull and tiger sharks, you can put in to join the team of 12 divers. Divers from PADI AOWD or equivalent can apply - the cost is£2700 plus flight.
