The reefs are home to about 1200 different types of fish as well as turtles, sharks, rays and a variety of invertebrates. All of these animals located in an area one tenth the size of the Great Barrier Reef, which allows divers an improved chance of spotting rare species. Visibility is generally great, on clear days you can see up to 30 meters. Although Sodwana Bay is famous for its diving, other activities include horse riding and turtle tours (October to March).
