About this site
2 Mile Reef lies off the KwaZulu-Natal coast of South Africa, in the Sodwana Bay area where much of the region's reef diving is based. It reaches a maximum depth of around 35 metres and is considered a beginner-friendly dive over a reef bottom. Dolphins and nudibranchs are a regular feature of the site, and divers have also reported hammerhead sharks, manta rays, octopus, sea turtles, whales, and whale sharks passing through.
