Sodwana Bay in South Africa, located on the KwaZulu Natal north coast which may not be synonymous with scuba diving much like the Maldives but boasts of a rich marine life that’s gaining more international thrill-seekers. Loggerhead and leatherback turtles are found throughout with frogfish and anemones seen thriving along its coral-encrusted seabed but there’s so much more to this stunning region than just its diving. Found two hours away from South Africa’s oldest game reserve known as Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park, this African region is a true gem particularly among those who enjoy diving.
