Scuba Diving in Sodwana Bay, South Africa

North of Durban is the Zululand Coast – including Sodwana Bay – which ribbons all the way to Mozambique. Here scenery above and below water is breathtaking and diving is rated as some of the best in the world. This is the mecca of South African scuba-diving with near-perfect underwater visibility, lukewarm water, fantastical coral gardens and a spectacular array of marine species.

The best time for diving are the winter months, from April to September, with peak underwater visibility in May and June.Here the water temperature is always above 21°C, but often reaches 28°C.

Loggerhead and leatherback turtles lay their eggs on these beaches in the summer months, which completes the picture of this piece of paradise. This coastline couldn’t be more beautiful if it tried.
