Sodwana Bay – Two-Mile Reef

About this site

Two-Mile Reef at Sodwana Bay is the most dived site on South Africa's iSimangaliso Wetland Park coastline, offering spectacular hard and soft coral gardens just two kilometres offshore. Loggerhead and leatherback turtles are resident year-round, and the warm Mozambique Channel current (24–28 °C) sustains an extraordinary diversity of reef fish rivalling any Indo-Pacific destination. Coelacanths have been photographed in the deep submarine canyons directly behind the reef, making this one of the most biodiverse nearshore dives in Africa.
