Reef fish

Sodwana’s reefs are alive with clouds of reef fish of every colour, from tiny anthias shimmering over the coral heads to the larger predators that patrol the walls. Even snorkellers in the sheltered shallows of Two-Mile Reef can float over this colour when conditions are suitable.

When and where to see them

Every dive and suitable-conditions snorkel at Sodwana guarantees schools of beautifully hued reef fish. The shallows of Two-Mile Reef are the easiest place to meet them, no certification required.
