Sodwana is situated on the north-east coastline of South Africa, amidst Isimangaliso Wetland Park. Classified as one of the top dive sites in the world, but still largely unexplored, this 50 km reef complex boasts around 95 species of hard and soft coral, sponges, other invertebrates and around 1200 fish species. In one of the submarine canyons just outside of the reef complex on 27 November 2000 the coelacanth – a prehistoric fish, was rediscovered.

A night of beauty in the Magical Maldives. This night I met Manta Rays for the first time. I watched them move and dance under the light, feeding on the plankton, swooping, looping... mesmerising me with their perfect grace and beauty. Then I pulled on my fins and mask, slipped into the warm water and spent hours joining in the dance... wishing the night would last forever. Full article will be published in the Divesite coming out this month, so sign up for this excellent mag, go to www.divesite.co.za Thank you to OK Maldives for being our gracious hosts, for the perfect liveaboard holiday, see www.okmaldives.com I hope you enjoy this little moment, for more of my work, please visit: www.hanliprinsloo.com
