The first of the week long south-east winds hit Cape Town recently, heralding the return of summer and the transition from False Bay to the Atlantic side for the diving community. Winter diving in Cape Town is generally in the warmer waters of False Bay and the return to the Atlantic is always a bittersweet experience. Sweet because the crisp clean waters are amazing, the colours are mind blowing and the marine life is plentiful. Bitter because the water temperature is around 10 deg celsius. And I can report that it has not warmed up any since last season!
Here are some pics from our first dives of the season on this side, a spectacular cold water experience:
