Sodwana Bay , kwaZulu-Natal , South Africa
I am looking for dive buddies,
I have a time share chalet at Sodwana Bay Lodge so there is no charge for accommodation, having like minded dive companions is more than enough.

The usual dive buddies have other commitments so going, just me so far.
If you would like to join in please give me a call.

Week twenty of 2015 starts at 14:00 on Saturday the 16th of May 2015 and ends at 10:00 on Saturday the 23th of May 2015.
Gives one, six (6) diving days – weather permitting
Northern KZN is still warm and barmy. Things are relaxed.

The timeshare unit Chalet at Sodwana Bay Lodge is a fully furnished and serviced 2 bedroom unit.
1x double bedroom
1 x twin bedroom upstairs
Open plan lounge kitchen (fridge, freezer, stove, microwave, toaster , cutlery, crockery etc... although I have never noticed an iron or ironing board) downstairs
Bathroom
Deck with gas braai, table, chairs and shower (hot / cold water – shower enclosed of course).

As usual I will be diving with Sodwana Bay Lodge Scuba Centre.
Although they are a little more expensive than most of the operators at Sodwana the service is outstanding, the DM’s are local and very knowledgeable, and the convenience of having everything right there outweighs the difference in price.
I usual purchase a ten (10) dive package which helps to bring the cost down a little.
Trips to 5, 7 and 9 mile reef have a surcharge.

Catering is self catering and we always take too much - .
Other options are the restaurant, and pub at the lodge and the local haunts round about the village.
Pre dive is usually coffee & rusks at the chalet – but feel free to be able to do your own thing.
Breakfast between dives is usually had (and you naturally pay for) at the beach cafe, eggs bacon toast etc... I must remember to take real coffee. Damn they lost my bodem, I must remember to take a spare,
