Join me for a relaxed and fun dive trip to explore and photograph the beautiful reefs of Sodwana Bay, situated in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Expect to see beautiful schools of colourful reef fish, vibrant reefs teeming with life, the possibility of seeing dolphins and larger fish such as potato bass and rays, as well as groupers, banner fish, surgeonfish, moorish idols, turtles, triggerfish, as well as the smaller inhabitants on the reefs such as anemonefish, nudibranchs – and maybe even some seahorses!

With two dives a day and informal underwater photography chats and image reviews, this is a great way to improve your underwater photography in a relaxed and stree-free environment.
