Unicorn Reef 2 Mile Reef

Unicorn Reef on Sodwana’s 2 Mile Reef is a solid choice when you want some colour and action without too much depth. We love how it’s laid out – a relatively flat reef with these fantastic coral bommies that just explode with life. It’s a cleaning station hotspot, so you’ll often find potato bass queuing up, along with a resident population of bluelined surgeonfish. Keep an eye out for the exquisite wrasse flitting between the cauliflower corals, too. The current here is usually mild, making it a relaxed drift, and visibility often pushes past 15 metres. We think it’s a brilliant option for divers looking for a leisurely dive with plenty to observe, great for photographers who want to slow down and compose shots. Our favourite time to hit it is first thing in the morning, before the boat traffic picks up, when the reef feels a bit more serene. You get those gorgeous shafts of light cutting through the water, illuminating the bommies.
