The Oog Marico Eye’ is the largest of these pools and is a popular freshwater
diving spot due to the unusual clarity of the water. The Eye is 17 m deep and 40 m wide.
The river starts off as the Groot Marico River at the Eye of Marico, near Rustenburg and
Swartruggens in the North West Province of South Africa. The source of the river is a large
dolomite hole in the ground with clear water, which is also a spectacular scuba diving spot.
It flows northwards as the Great Marico (Groot Marico) and further downstream the smaller
Klein Marico River joins forces. For a stretch it is named Madikwene River, but after the
Sehubyane River (Sandsloot) joins its left bank, it reverts to the name Marico.
