Diving at Sodwana Bay in South Africa

Situated at the northern end of the St. Lucia Marine Reserve, this Bay is close to the 27th Latitude, which is the ideal circle around the world when searching for good diving spots. We are - after seven dives - very enthusiastic about the marine life we found there. Although the visibility was not at its best - in October there is just too much plankton in the water - we were stunned by the magnificence and diversity of corals and fish we saw "down there"! Not only reef fish showed up, we had the fun to see turtles, Pharaoh cuttlefishes and Sharks. During the boat rides to the reefs we had the luck to see whales, dolphins and flying fishes.
Here you find a small selection of fish, which we managed to photograph while we were gliding happily through the water ...
