Celebrating a Historic Win with Zama Zama FC!
At Marine Dynamics, we’ve had the honour of sponsoring Zama Zama FC since 2009, and we couldn’t be prouder of their incredible journey!
In early 2024, Zama Zama FC joined the newly established Community Football Federation, and their dedication and hard work have truly paid off. On August 3, 2024, they were crowned the League Champions!
Soccer is so much more than scoring goals—it’s about building leadership, discipline, and teamwork. Each practice and game strengthens the bonds between teammates and fosters lifelong friendships while promoting health and well-being. Beyond the field, these young men have become role models in their community, inspiring others to set and achieve their goals and create a brighter future.
Join us in celebrating how soccer is a powerful catalyst for positive change! Here’s to Zama Zama FC and the incredible impact they’re making.

Marine Dynamics Leads Inspiring Community Clean-Up in Masakhane
Here at Marine Dynamics, we believe in making a difference 365 days a year, but for Mandela Day, we had another special project that showcased our commitment to positive change.
Armed with gloves and rakes, Marine Dynamics together with the community of Masakhane united in a remarkable effort to make a tangible difference. As captured in our video, the impact was substantial, with 300 rubbish bags collected. This collaborative effort saw Masakhane children, CapeNature, staff from the Great White House restaurant, Marine Dynamics boat crew, marketing team, production team, Marine Dynamics Academy - Interns & volunteers, maintenance and garden team, Pinkey of the Dyer Island Conservation Trust and her DEEP Kids, and APPS staff all working hand in hand.
A special shoutout goes to Mr. Kat Myburgh, Annelie Pearce, and Kobus Groenewald, who joined us from the community on such short notice, embodying the spirit of unity and action.
As Mandela wisely said, "It is in your hands to make a better world for all who live in it. Everyone has the right to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being and to have that environment protected for the benefit of present and future generations."
"What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead."
Together, we are proving that collective action can spark meaningful change.

Guess what! On our second trip of the day, we hit the jackpot and spotted a Great white shark! This incredible sighting of a 2 meter female is our first for July, and we couldn't be more thrilled! We're crossing our fingers, hoping this juvenile decides to hang around our bay a little longer. What an exciting day for our guests and crew!

From Agreement to Action: Build Back Biodiversity
Join us, Marine Dynamics Shark & Whale Tours, and the Dyer Island Conservation Trust, as we proudly celebrate International Day of Biodiversity 2023! Today, we embrace the opportunity to highlight the invaluable marine conservation and research projects we undertake in the magnificent Dyer Island ecosystem to Build Back Biodiversity. 🌊🦈
1️⃣ Project 1: Endangered/Vulnerable Species Monitoring 🐧🐬🦈
We are dedicated to closely monitoring and protecting endangered species, such as the African Penguin and the Humpback dolphin. Invaluable research on Great white sharks by marine biologists includes tagging and tracking, behavioural surveys, wound healing, environmental parameter monitoring and population studies. We strive to ensure their survival and promote long-term well-being through rigorous observation and data collection. We handle all marine animal rescue, strandings and sampling on our coastline.
2️⃣ Project 2: Marine Ecosystem Research 🐠📚
Our team of passionate scientists and conservationists conducts groundbreaking research to gain a deeper understanding of the complex and fragile Dyer Island marine ecosystem. By studying the interplay between species, habitats, and environmental parameters, we contribute to the broader knowledge of oceanic conservation. Our team has published over 30 peer-reviews scientific papers. Effective science that can be translated into evidence-based conservation initiatives and legislation.
3️⃣ Project 3: Coastal and Pelagic Bird Conservation 🐧🌊
The African Penguin and Seabird Sanctuary - APSS is a custom-designed marine bird rehabilitation center. The team provides care to diseased, displaced, injured, oiled and abandoned marine birds with a particular focus on the endangered African penguin. Dyer Island is recognised as an Important Bird Area (IBA). We work closely with CapeNature, who deploys rangers on the island to monitor the various breeding colonies and inform our rehabilitation team of
