Diving – Pietermartizburg & Photographers Reef
Well, another boat trip, another 2 dives on Sunday.
The weather was great. The sea was like a pond, compared to two weeks ago, it wasnt even the same sea! Slight north westerly from saturday seems to have cleared the water up and flattened the water out. (In fact, it was so flat that even I couldn’t get sick, much to the relief of everyone sitting around me!)
First dive was the Pietermaritzburg wreck – about 300m from the launch in 20m of water. A nice wreck dive with quite a lot of marine life. Found several octopi, who weren’t thrilled with us peering at them.
Second dive was at Photographers reef. Water at 9m got really chilly to around 14-15deg with an intense thermocline. Max depth was 14m. It was stunning! I saw 4 different types of Nudibranch – really awesome.
