Scuba Diving with Coral Divers: 26-31 October

Angus, (Scottish student also at Mosvold) Aditi & myself safe on shore after an ocean dive.

Spent a long weekend at Sodwana Bay, a coastal town 2 hours from Ingwavuma & completed our Open Water diving course! We stayed with Coral Divers in their safari tents (just secure enough to keep out the many roaming monkeys), inside the northern section of the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park.

Tremendous fun & great food!! Angus & Aditi both found their sea legs relatively quickly, though I was a bit less fortunate falling sea sick on each dive - only in the ocean, not in the pool thank goodness!

Fantastic experience underwater: saw many marvellous tropical fish (water is around 25 degrees in warm Indian Ocean off South Africa's east coast), a pizza-sized ray & some moray eels - or so I'm told, as I was a tad busy holding my stomach in the vigorous underwater current.
