Siso Dwana Lodge

Tucked just outside the village of Sodwana Bay, Siso Dwana Lodge and Diving is a boutique PADI Resort built around personalised experiences for both small and large groups. With a team of three PADI Instructors alongside seasoned Skippers and Dive Masters, the centre keeps its focus on individual attention, comfort, safety and environmental responsibility — running its own fleet of custom dive boats out to the region's finest reefs.

Courses, sites and marine life

World-class scuba courses and diving excursions here are limited purely by your own capabilities, making the centre a good fit for everyone from newcomers to experienced divers. Local dive sites include 4 Mile Reef, 9 Mile Reef, 5 Mile Reef, Simon's Cave, Coral Gardens, Chain Reef, Pinnacles and Waynes World, among others. Divers can encounter sharks, whales, turtles, ocean fish, rays, eels, corals and more across these waters.

A full range of new rental equipment is available, including steel cylinders in various sizes, with Nitrox and 300 bar air fills on hand. Facilities span an onsite training pool, dive club, onsite accommodation and free Wi-Fi, and the team speaks English, Zulu and Afrikaans.
