Team sets out to showcase Durban as prime location for scuba-diving tourism
Durban is showcased as a scuba diving holiday unrivalled anywhere in the world.
THE Dive Durban and KwaZulu-Natal expedition recently set out to explore and profile the east coast’s marine diversity and to shine a light on the tourism opportunities in this unique part of the world.
Organised under the banner of Durban Green Corridors, in partnership with the eThekwini Municipality, the expedition team consisted of five divers – one experienced local diver, two development divers and two international volunteer divers, one from Reunion and one from Switzerland.
The team was specially compiled to provide a wide range of skills, opinions and observations, bringing “fresh eyes” and “old hands” together.
