Farm House
Why dive here
With 490+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, bull sharks, eagle rays and great white sharks - Farm House offers some of KwaZulu-Natal's richest cave diving. Water ranges 21-26°C, warmest January, February, March.
Farm House offers a refreshingly different dive experience in KZN, one that feels more like an archaeological treasure hunt than a typical reef dive. It’s shallow, hitting a maximum of 13m, which makes it an excellent choice for newer divers looking for some bottom time without the stress of deep profiles or challenging currents. You’ll be poking around among scattered farm implements, old water tanks, and even submerged trees, looking for signs of the elusive farmhouse itself. Keep an eye out for the smallmouth and largemouth yellows, barbel, and carp that now call this unique freshwater environment home.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
