Bay National Park: Situated within the greater St Lucia Wetland Park, Sodwana
Bay is renowned for its scuba diving, snorkelling and deep-sea fishing. The reef has 14
rocky reefs, covered with coral, and a wide variety of tropical fish. These reefs,
estimated to be over 4000 years old have plenty of caves, overhangs and pinnacles. They
are covered with soft and hard corals, and can be dived all year round. Most species of
shark have been spotted at Sodwana, and recently three coelacanths approximately 1.5m in
length were photographed at a depth of 115m. The south flowing Agulhas current hits the
continental shelf a few kilometres offshore, and this deep water is home to marlin and
sailfish.
There are excellent snorkelling spots at Sodwana
Bay, Kingfisher Bay, Adlams, Algae Reef and Mabibi, the latter all accessible by
four-wheel drive vehicle along the beach. These reefs are abundant in goldies, lionfish,
zebras, wrass, crayfish, feather stars, rays and moray eels. |
