Number one
Arrecife profundo de Durban con salientes, anclas y avistamientos de fauna grande
Acerca de Number one
Number one es un arrecife más profundo frente a Durban, donde anclas, cadenas y salientes rocosas mantienen la inmersión interesante desde el descenso hasta el ascenso. Los buceadores lo usan por su estructura de arrecife en profundidad, su vida de peces subtropicales y la posibilidad de ver tiburones u otros visitantes de mayor tamaño cuando el agua está clara. Es una inmersión en barco para buceadores recreativos con experiencia que se sienten cómodos con la corriente y con un retorno con SMB bien controlado.

Boat dive that rewards good trim, current awareness, and deliberate reef scanning at depth.
