We're a small, locally run marine conservation organisation based in Sodwana Bay, on South Africa's northern KwaZulu-Natal coast. Since 2019, we've been combining scuba diving, hands-on marine research and unforgettable coastal experiences. Join us to explore some incredible reefs, contribute to ongoing marine monitoring and experience life in a close-knit ocean-loving community.

We're small on purpose, with a maximum of 10 participants at a time. We're run by a hands-on team who genuinely love this reef, this town and the work we do. You'll contribute to ongoing marine research, learn about the ocean and experience daily life in Sodwana Bay rather than simply ticking off dives. Our conservation activities follow responsible diving practices, with marine life observed and documented without being touched or disturbed.

Absolutely! Many of our participants arrive solo, and it's a big part of what makes the Deep Blue experience special. You'll meet people who share your love for the ocean and become part of a small, welcoming community. Our programs are open to participants aged 18 and over. Whether you're on a gap year, taking a career break or simply looking for a meaningful adventure, you're welcome here.
