Dive in Durban

An old concrete floating crane with the remains of three steel derricks on the deck. Upright and intact in approximately 17-27m of water. Has an abundance of baitfish and the derricks are home to a vast array of reef fish.

Birthday Ledges is so named due to the high number of surprises hidden in every nook and cranny. The site is the southern most tip of the large Blood reef and therefore should be dived in either no current or in the less common south north current.

The Fontao was sunk in 1990 to creat a wreck off the coast of Umhlanga Rocks, some 12 km north of Durban. It is an interesting dive site with plenty of mid water fish, as well as lots of reef fish who have settled along the coral on the wreck.

There is very little left of her save for the engine block, keel, beams and steel plates. Home to some rather huge crayfish and quite a lot of baitfish. The area from the North pier to the Umgeni River is a marine sanctuary, hence the large crayfish. Maximum depth is 8m and it is very seldom clean.

The dive site is off the coast of Durban in the entry zone of the busiest port of Africa. An interesting dive site however only for advanced and experienced divers.Ensure you have a buoy with you!!This dive site has many boulders and anchor chain peaces. Lot of sharks in this area.

Vetchies Pier is an artificial reef that was created some 80 years ago. Today it is teaming with corals and fish, espacially plenty of eels & scorpionfish.Take a buoy along since a lot of boat traffic is around.
