Rocktail Beach Camp
 
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa- Pristine is an understatement for this new dive eco resort. There is no one else on the gorgeous sand beach and the diving is completely untouched with excellent opportunities for so many marine species all arriving different times of the year. Depending on what time of year you are there, you will have chance to see Ragged tooth and other shark species from December through March with good visibility also whale sharks pass through then as well and turtles hatching on the beach!
December and January into February offer Leatherback and Loggerhead turtles laying eggs, it is a site to see them in the water they are HUGE! Dolphin activity is year round. Humpback whale viewing is June, July & August.
From a scuba diving perspective, Rocktail Bay is unique. Not only is the diving conducted within a Reserve and World Heritage Site along unspoiled reefs, but divers have the luxury of knowing that they alone have access to these sites and are the only underwater visitors along this stretch of the coastline.
Rocktail Beach Camp, en-suite chalets with private verandas are tucked away in coastal dune forest. The main area of the camp offers an inviting lounge, dining room and bar, as well as a wooden deck and pool area. An in-house accredited dive centre and a range of activities make for an inspirational experience.

Recent Dive Report: February 2010
The next portion of our trip was to Rocktail Bay, an hour south of southern Mozambique. We stayed
at the new Beach lodge accommodation and wow – we cannot express how utterly amazing this
accommodation and place is. We enjoyed incredible tented tree house
accommodation with magnificent views of dense dunes, vegetation and ocean views. Service was
excellent all round and meals mouth watering.
Diving was exceptional. We did 5 dives in this
magnificent place, diving Gogo’s, Aerial, Pineapple, Yellow Fin Drop and Elusive. We had brilliant
sightings of ghost pipe fish, harlequin shrimps, porcelain crabs, paper fish, nudibranches, white tip
reef shark, potato bass, eels, a purple jelly fish, a massive crab hiding underneath a rock, round
ribbon tail rays and an 8m whale shark on the last day.
