This reef is not known to many dive operators, and is dived on very seldom, because it is not as big and spectacular as the other, better known reefs. It consists of a number of scattered rocks and outcrops of pristine coral, but is big enough to keep you busy for an entire dive.

We dive there only when we have experienced divers who have done a large number of dives at Sodwana Bay, who want to have a different dive experience. Because it is dived on so seldom, the creatures there tend to be very curious, as they are not used to seeing divers, and will approach them.


These photos are of creatures found there.

On the top right is a Grey Reef Shark, bottom left a Crocodile Fish.

The thing in the bottom right picture we have no idea what it is. We don’t even know whether it is an animal, a plant, or what??? Can anyone help with identification, please?
