Sodwana Bay 2 Mile Reef Guide

Description

Sodwana launches through surf onto a reef complex large enough that the names in a boat briefing mean nothing to a diver hearing them for the first time. This Reefmappers International guide covers 2 Mile Reef alone rather than surveying the whole coast, so Antons, Caves and Overhangs and Chain Reef are mapped in relation to each other with depth profiles alongside. Entry and exit points, prevailing currents and the way visibility behaves through the year are set out for planning against the ground instead of against memory. Species identification runs with the maps and covers what is commonly seen there, including rays, sharks, nudibranchs and schooling reef fish. A first visit gains the most, though a tenth trip still benefits, because a printed map outlasts the recollection of a briefing given over an engine. It suits any diver heading for 2 Mile rather than the reefs north of it.
