Guinjata Bay offers two rubber duck’s for diving charters. There are two Bauer Mariner compressors to fill cylinders. We do have range of diving gear available for rent for those who need.

We will ensure that your diving experience with us at Guinjata Bay will be memorable. Through scuba diving we hope to build a friendship that will grow as we have a common interest in life. Our aim is to give you more than just a good dive! We would like to add more to you diving experience through the understanding, preservation and conservation of our reefs. You will not leave empty handed. In fact we would like to add to your knowledge and ours.

The area offers a number of dive sites which include the following:

Guinjata Bay Reef
This reef is approximately 1,5 km from the launch site and offers a variety of dive sites. The outer ledge of the reef drops to 21 meters while other areas of the reef come up to 9 meters. There are three-dive site on the reef, which have names like “the Cave” (small amphitheatre 9m – 14m), “Pao Ledge” (bread loaf like ledge 13m – 21m), “Batfish Pinnacle” (plenty of batfish 9m –14m). One area in particular is covered with sea anemones; other areas are full of brightly coloured nudibranchs and sea cucumbers. The outer ledge regularly produces sightings of game fish and larger rays resting in the sand.

Manta Reef
This reef is approximately 12 km north of the launch site and therefore can only be reached when the sea is relatively calm. This reef is large and offers a great variety of dives ranging from 18m – 35m on the outer ledge. There are two sites on the reef that we dive “Manta Pinnacle” & “The Canyon”. As it is situated in the main current, sightings of manta and devil rays are common. Whale shark, sharks and various pelagic fish are often seen. There are three-manta cleaner stations that provide the reef with manta rays all year round. “ Manta Pinnacle” offers unbelievable diving with vast shoals of reef fish as well as game fish to be seen. Spanish dancers have been seen swimming in broad daylight. “The Canyon” has a pair of long nose hawk fish and the marbled leopard grouper is common on the reef. This reef regularly produces world class diving!

Paindane
This reef starts close to the shore and runs down to 35m very quickly offering excellent sightings of reef fish (frog fish) on one side with game fish lurking on the other. Many lionfish can be seen in one spot. There have been sittings of Zambezi (Bull Shark) and Tiger shark. The shallow protected area has brilliant corals. Again this reef has many spots with strong currents running (advanced divers only). The inner side of the reef is extremely well protected and provides almost pool like conditions for student training and snorkelling.

Island Rock
This reef is about 6 km south of Paindane. Several whale sharks are spotted here on a regular basis. This site is rarely dived and thus unexplored. There is a cave that drops to 14m up to 7m.

There are many reefs that need to be discovered! Two that we are looking at are “Kingfisher reef” & “Green tree deep ledge”.
