I'm the latest sucker... I booked a trip for myself and two other military friends. Unfortunately, I was not able to go due to the passing of my mother. So, I fought long and hard for a refund that I was entitled to but never received. Half of my inquiries were never responded to, and the ones they did respond... More

My reason for visiting Cape Town was to dive with the Great Whites. I was definatelly not dissapointed. The boat takes a maximum of 20 clients, so was not overcrowded like some other operators. It is a long day but well worth it. We were picked up around 5am at our hotel and got back just after 3pm. EXHAUSTED but... More

THERE ARE PLENTY OF REPUTABLE SHARK DIVING OPERATORS AROUND CAPE TOWN, THIS COMPANY IS NOT ONE OF THEM. DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM. Like others on here I wish I'd read the reviews here before I made the mistake of trying to deal with this bunch. I booked a shark diving trip before leaving for Cape Town, got the acknowledgment...

Paul Hanekom is a known crook. He is a thief and a liar. Why he has not yet been arrested I don't know. He has stolen money from our family and shows no guilt or concern and does nothing to try to remedy the situation. Even after we got lawyers on him he chose not to pay back the money... More

I am afraid to say, yes, all of the below reviews are true. I am Paul's latest victim, I'm only sorry I hadn't read these reviews before I gave him my credit card details. DO NOT USE UN REAL DIVES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! HE WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY!

We were supposed to dive last year but the dive was cancelled due to bad weather. That evening our waitress advised us that we were lucky that the trip had been cancelled as Unreal Dives were awful. A year later and money was taken out of my bank account by Unreal Dives. I contacted them to complain and their response... More

I booked a shark cagedive the week berfore we went to South Africa with UNREAL DIVE EXP, was told by Paul Hanekom that it was all confirmed (and Paid for, by credit card) and I should phone the day before the dive to confirm pick-up. I was given 2 numbers,1 mobile, 1 landline. Then we were told we would be... More

While we saw great whites, choose any other company as Unreal Diving Expeditions is made up entirely of CROOKS. They require a credit card/debit card for reservations, but demand payment in person. After returning home, they have now TWICE attempted to take money from me and my friends I was with. I used one card for the reservation and another... More
