Dive-site story
Located near the southern stretch of Sodwana Bay's reef complex, Stringer is a compact patch reef known for its dense concentration of juvenile reef fish and macro fauna. Sand channels frame the low-profile limestone formations, where table corals and branching staghorn create shelter from the coastal surge. Photographers frequent this spot to search among soft coral heads and overhangs for small critters.
