Aqua Wild Africa

Want to learn scuba diving? Aqua Wild Africa is a Durban-based company providing scuba diving courses and underwater adventures.

It is owned and run by Daniele Marco Pavan. Daniele grew up in Umkomaas on KwaZulu-Natal’s golden South Coast and started diving at the age of 16.

Since doing his PADI Dive Masters and other speciality scuba diving courses, he has dived in many countries across the globe – making him one of South Africa’s most experienced scuba divers.

He has also been called on to assist with underwater filming and photography and has participated in scientific research projects with Sharklab International.

As the name suggests, the PADI Dive Master Course is for those seeking to become professional scuba divers. In this program, expect to expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills to the professional level.

Their Rescue Diver is designed to equip you with the skills you need to help prevent, and if necessary, manage dive emergencies – both minor and major, with a variety of different techniques.

True many divers take the Emergency First Response course so they can be allowed to enrol for other courses. However, most have also found the EFR program to be important in everyday life as it deals with emergency preparedness.

Reviews by Aqua Wild Africa fans

“Thanks to Daniele and Annie for a fantastic trip. I only had 3 days to dive but I was in safe hands. I said I liked wrecks sharks and reefs and that’s what I got. The itinerary was written around what I wanted to do not the normal sausage factory attitude with we always do this dive on Monday take it or leave it scenarios. Fantastic service even taking time to ensure the non-diving wife was entertained. I can’t recommend Aqua Wild Africa enough,” wrote Kevthediver on their TripAdvisor page.

Gillian Kaspers added; “We have acquired not only an experience but a family. whether you are a resident in SA or visiting, a newbie to diving or snorkelling, Daniele and Annie always give you an amazing time. Well Done guys.”

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
