I was in Umkomaas juni 2006 and it was absolutly awsome!
If you want tigers and blacktips, this is the place to go...

But some weeks ago I heard that 8 tigers were caught off Aliwal by fishermen. :rcard

Awesome pictures! It takes serious guts not to pee in the pants when faced with one of these mammoths in the water. Or maybe I'm just being chicken here. I have tremendous respect for these animals in the water. I was in Umkomaas in June-July 2004 to dive Aliwal Shoals and later to Gaansbai for cage diving with white sharks. Never saw any tigers unfortunately. But I vividly remember the first moment I saw a great white appear underwater. Moments ago, I was thinking about how friggin cold I was and choppy it was in the cage, feeling like I was standing in a washing machine. When the shark appeared, all time stood still and all thoughts of the cold and waves disappeared and I just stared at the massive approaching siloutte and went "waaaa........" Priceless experience. Now at Chinese wedding dinners where sharks fins soup is inevitably served, I turn it down and proceed to preach anti-finning but I'm not sure how many people actually pay attention instead of rolling their eyes at me going "whatever..."
