Acerca de Simon's Cave
Simon's Cave es un arrecife con acceso en barco en el extremo norte de 2 Mile Reef, en Sodwana Bay, construido alrededor de cornisas, canales, cabezas de coral y un corto paso nadable. El sitio se siente compacto y con relieve variado, con peces de arrecife abundantes y colores de coral intensos alrededor de la boca de la cueva. Planéalo para mares más calmos, porque la corriente y el oleaje pueden apretar la ruta y estrechar el paso nadable.
