Why dive here
With 558+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue sharks, blue-spotted stingrays and bull sharks - Quarter Mile offers some of Sodwana Bay's richest diving. Water ranges 23-28°C, warmest January, February, March.
Quarter Mile is a solid choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive in Sodwana. The reef here sits relatively shallow, making it good for extending bottom time. We've often spotted green turtles cruising along the sandy patches, and the resident potato bass are always worth a look. Expect good visibility on most days.
