About this site

Two Mile Reef lies off Sodwana Bay in KwaZulu-Natal, part of the reef system within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park marine protected area, and reached by boat launches through the surf from the beach. The reef sits on ancient fossilised dune structures colonised by soft corals and sponges, with a maximum depth of around 22 metres and rated a beginner dive over a reef bottom. Divers have reported a wide range of life here, including angelfish, butterflyfish, fusiliers, snapper, wrasse, grouper, moray eels, octopus, nudibranchs, seahorses, lionfish and scorpionfish, along with turtles, dolphins and manta rays. Larger and less predictable sightings have also been reported, including reef, bull, tiger, leopard and even whale and great white sharks, as well as whales, though these are occasional rather than guaranteed. Delicate plate coral formations on the reef mean care with buoyancy is worthwhile. Depths across the site stay in the recreational range, making it accessible to a broad range of divers, though the surf entry itself calls for some comfort with boat launches.
