Why dive here
With 558+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue sharks, blue-spotted stingrays and bull sharks - Shark Point offers some of Sodwana Bay's richest diving. Water ranges 23-28°C, warmest January, February, March.
Shark Point is one of Sodwana's deeper dives, often experiencing stronger currents. We’ve seen good numbers of grey reef sharks patrolling the area, along with the occasional tiger shark cruising past in the blue. Keep an eye out for potato bass sheltering in the crevices. This site is best for advanced divers comfortable with drift dives and keen on bigger pelagics.
