Bikini is one of the more popular dive sites on two mile (Sodwanas reefs are roughly named after how far they are situated from the launch point... all the reefs are within sight of land and the name does not relate to how far from the shore they are).

This dive site lies between 20 and 22 meters and consists of a reef running approximately from north to south and bordered by sand on the shore side.

Sodwana is one of the best places to see the various turtle species that inhabit our coastline including the Loggerhead and legendary Leatherback amongst others.

Be sure to look for some of the beautiful Plate and Spiral coral growing there and don't forget to look underneath them for what may be hiding in the shadows! Please remember the coral is very fragile and takes forever to grow so practice your bouyancy.

The caves and ledges along Bikini host a number of different cleaner shrimp as well as those beuatiful blue and black striped cleaner Wrasse. Many fish will visit these cleaning stations for a bit of grooming.

Bikini is usually dived from the Northen point close to Hopscotch down to Mellow Yellow in the South, but this is dependant on the tide and sea conditions.

Other fish to look out for include Coachman at the northern end of Bikini and some Garden eels in the sand.
