A tropical treat!

As a cold water diver residing in Cape Town where water temperatures can drop to 5’C, it is a real treat to be able to dive in 28’C crystal clear water. I had this opportunity when my girlfriend (http://humbleambition.blogspot.com/) and I went for a dive trip to Sodwana bay..This is one of the first places in the world where live Coelocanths can be visited. I spent most of my time free diving (breath hold) as the water was so nice and clear it was no problem to free dive a 15m reef with plenty of photo opportunities.
Here are some of the shots I took while there:

Seven Gill Sharks

Here are some of my shots of Seven gill Sharks in False Bay Cape Town. They are extremely docile animals and are really fun to dive with. They are a a resident of an area in False Bay called Pyramid Rock and I have seen them there every time I have dived there.

Here is some rare footage of a seal playing with Seven Gill Sharks. This video was filmed on my GoPro HD. There is a loss of sharpness with the Gopro due to the lens curviture, but I am working on a fix for it.
