Diving

At Sodwana Bay Lodge, “exploration” comes with a comfortable bed, decent coffee and the reassuring knowledge that you can return to civilisation before sunset.

Glossodoris bonwanga - one of the signature nudibranch species in Sodwana - was recently spotted by Wayne Tarr during a dive with our diving partner Adventure Mania.

Sometimes you need to swap the soothing hush of the lodge and ocean for the therapeutic hum of a shopping aisle. Enter: Mbazwana Mall, Sodwana’s unofficial antidote to too much serenity.

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.
