Unicorn Reef is a boat-accessed site on Sodwana Bay's 2 Mile Reef, where a flat coral reef is broken up by bommies and trenches. The bommies act as cleaning stations and concentrate sea goldies, rockcods, and adult palette surgeonfish, while the broader reef gives guides enough structure to vary the route for different comfort levels. It is the kind of dive that stays interesting because there is plenty to look at without losing the simple reef layout.
