Komati Springs: inland quarry with cave training
Komati Springs: inland quarry with cave training
Komati Springs is a rehabilitated inland dive site built around a flooded mine basin and a joining cave system. The old mining footprint was cleaned up, but the rock walls and overhead passages remain the draw, making it a strong fit for technical training, controlled navigation, and depth-focused dives. It is calm year-round and rewards divers who want structure and planning rather than reef scenery.
