Cohen’s Corner
Why dive here
With 490+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, bull sharks, eagle rays and great white sharks - Cohen’s Corner offers some of KwaZulu-Natal's richest cave diving. Water ranges 21-26°C, warmest January, February, March.
Cohen’s Corner, tucked away on the east side of a lake in KwaZulu-Natal, offers a solid wall dive down to 18 metres. We love the dramatic drop-off, peppered with old trees that create some interesting nooks and crannies. Visibility averages around 11 metres, which is decent for freshwater, and you’ll likely spot common carp cruising along the wall, alongside small mouth yellows and the occasional rainbow trout. It’s a picturesque spot for a relaxed dive, especially if you’re keen on ticking off some unique freshwater species.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
