Getting to the reefs requires a quick boat ride and a tight grip, especially in the sometimes turbulent September seas. We ventured out to Seven Mile although all of the dive sites were just as stunning as each other. We explored coral gardens, inhabited by small delicate critters like an incredible variety of nudibranch and shrimp, as well as reefs inhabited by reef sharks, giant &#8220;Pincushion Starfish&#8221; and Blue Spotted Rays. We saw a whale shark on our first day and migrating Humpback Whales in the distance on others. I seemed to have close encounters with a lot of the marine wildlife. On two separate occasions I almost bumped into a turtle and a giant Moray Eel taking a leisurely swim.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29284\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29284\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/blue-spotted-ray.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"570\" height=\"428\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-29284\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blue Spotted Ray \u00a9 www.sprig.co.za<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We stayed in one of Coral Divers\u2019 cabins which was perfect.

Once again we stayed in one of the park\u2019s cabins and found it a perfect little place to relax and enjoy a braai in the evenings, surrounded by the great outdoors. We also dropped by St Lucia to say hi to the resident beach hippos. Needless to say when we got back to the rainy and cold Cape, we had some amazing memories to look back on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September last year, my wife and I decided to escape the Cape Town winter for two weeks of sunshine and warm ocean in KwaZulu-Natal.
