Sodwana Bay is considered to be among the premier dive sites of the world, it is home to the southern most tropical coral reefs on the planet which are further south than the Great Barrier Reef. The reef has an incredibly dense coral cover and wide diversity of fish, crustaceans and more with over 1200 species having been recorded in the area.
Conditions range from idyllic to challenging depending on the wind and the current. The sites vary in depth between 10 meters and depths only suited to technical deep divers. The shallowest siting of a coelacanth took place in Sodwana at a depth of just over 100m.
The reef's at Sodwana Bay are named by the distance they are from the launch site, Jesser Point.
The major reef's are split up into Quarter Mile, 2 Mile Reef, 5 Mile Reef, 7 Mile Reef and 9 Mile Reef. And each of these reefs have their own dive sites. There are also a few isolate reefs fringing the main reefs, some of these are Stringer and Bikini.

Some of the more popular dives sites on Two Mile Reef are:
Antons reef
Two buoy
Four buoy
Coral Gardens
Pinnacles
Waynes world
Chain reef
Caves and Overhangs
Arches
Hot spots

The bio diversity in the area is phenomenal from the big to small. Seasonal visitors include humpback whales and manta rays, others such as dolphins, turtles and whales sharks appear year round. Some of the small "jewellery" on offer includes paper fish, pipe fish, seahorses, nudibranchs, frog fish and a host of many others.
So dive in and discover.
Lifes a beach, then you dive.
