2 Mile Stringer

This dive site, known as 2 Mile Stringer, is located off the coast of South Africa and consists of two rocky outcrops rising from a sandy seabed. Navigation is straightforward, as the outcroppings are distinct features. The site is relatively unexplored and doesn't have a rich historical narrative beyond its use as a popular dive site.

The marine life at 2 Mile Stringer is diverse and abundant, particularly for smaller species. Divers can expect to see paper fish, frogfish, harlequin shrimp, rays, potato bass, moray eels, and juvenile emperor angelfish. The rocky outcroppings provide habitats for a variety of invertebrates and algae.

The best time to visit 2 Mile Stringer is likely during the calmer months of summer (October-March), when the water is warmer and visibility tends to be highest. However, even then, conditions can vary. It is crucial for divers to check the weather and sea conditions before attempting a dive, and good buoyancy control is key to avoid disturbing the sandy bottom. Freediving is suitable given the shallow depth, but awareness of currents is important.
