Scuba Diving at Sodwana Bay Lodge Whale-Shark-2Information on the Dive Centre
Sodwana Bay is considered to be the premier dive site and is the only tropical dive site in South Africa. Sodwana is one of the few places world-wide where dive sites are reached by weaving a path through breaking waves.

Sodwana Bay Lodge Scuba Centre was formed in March 1998 taking over from Sodwana Dive Retreat (SDR). Including our time with SDR we have been the official dive concession for Sodwana Bay Lodge since 1993. Since 1998 we have been operating exclusively from the Lodge. Incorporated into our fold is the Sodwana School of Diving formed in 1993. It was originally a NAUI facility.
