Diving

On a recent dive by our diving partner Adventure Mania to Sodwana Bay’s caves and overhangs, they had the pleasure of bumping into one of the reef’s best-dressed residents: the Threadfin Butterflyfish (Chaetodon auriga).

A discovery centuries in the making! A fragile, rare rhodolith bed has been found in iSimangaliso’s twilight depths – and it needs protection. Dive into the story.

Meet the Clown Surgeonfish of Sodwana Bay - a reef resident as bold in behaviour as it is in wardrobe choice.

Ranked among the world’s top ten dive destinations, Sodwana Bay boasts more than 1 200 fish species. Whether you’re a seasoned diver or looking to expand your skills, a night dive here promises an unforgettable adventure filled with mystery, beauty and a touch of magic.

Aside from the individual benefits, the joint benefit of a couple spending quality time away at an idyllic location such as Sodwana Bay Lodge can be an enriching relationship experience.
