Nine Mile Reef is one of the last frontiers of diving with some of the best examples of coral in South Africa.

Name Dive Site:	9 Mile Reef
Depth:	10-22m (32-72ft)
Specifications:

Nine Mile Reef is the last well known reef of Sodwana before crossing into Mozambique. Being so remote, it is dived less, weather can make her inaccessible and it will take about forty minutes from the launch site. She is located 14 km north of Jesser Point and sits only five hundred meters offshore. Especially the outward ocean side has stunning hard corals and the famous coral tree named Tubastrea Micrantha. Especially one example named 'Green Tree' is phenomenal and stands robust a few meters tall surrounded by shoals of goldies. Another famous place is 'Breaking Waters' sitting at a depth of only six meters and spectacular because of its enormous violence of thunderous waves crashing and rolling just above you.

9 Mile Reef has many caves, overhangs and other shelters perfect for huge morays, Moorish idols and large groupers. There are some great drop-offs, several steep coral heads in excellent condition and quiet often means unexpected encounters.
