Sodwana Bay

We have just arrived back from a few days of great diving at Sodwana.

Sodwana Bay forms part of the iSimangaliso wetland park, which is a world heritage site. The diving here is great. It is probably one of the best scuba diving areas in the world. There is an abundance of large schools of fish, soft and hard coral. The potato bass are extremely friendly, inquisitive and tame.

This time we were surrounded by many humpback whales on every dive. They were everywhere in the water. Water temperature was between 22.5 and 23 degrees C. The water should start heating up now that it is the end of winter.

I managed to spend some time with a very friendly octopus on one of the dives and managed to get some great video footage. DSC02016

Esmé also managed to get some great still shots of just about everything.

We, myself, Danie and my wife Esmé, are both restless souls. Apart from the time we devote to our professional lives and immensely adorable daughters, we like to travel, dive, camp and to go to and do unusual off the beaten track things. We love to share our experiences with everyone. Photographing, filming and writing about all our experiences on this wonderful planet of ours is a privilege that has to be shared.
