Sodwana Bay offers some of the most exiting diving in the world. Sodwana is rated within the Top 10 Dive Sites in the world by most experts. There are a variety of dive sites to choose from. Occasionally, a diver may also be introduced to Potato Bass, from the Grouper family. Moray and Honeycomb Eels and stingrays are also to be found everywhere on the reef.
Turtles also feature on some occasions.
The maximum depth on the reef is at 18m and the visibility varies from between 8 and 18 m, depending on the time of year. Dives to the other reefs are usually done early in the morning, depending on sea conditions as the trip out can take up some time. These trips are also more expensive. On boat trips out to the other reefs, divers are bound to meet up with dolphins and Whale Sharks in season. Swimming with these creatures is not uncommon and are nearly always allowed if the conditions allow, although touching of these magnificent mammals is not allowed at all.
