Scuba Diving with Triton Dive Lodge in February and March
Scuba Diving with Triton Dive Lodge December and January
December was crazy busy in Sodwana Bay and the diving was fantastic. The sea was flat and blue and the viz was amazing day after day. January saw the water temp reaching 28 degrees and we had some amazing sightings.
Ornate ghost pipefish on Roonies, Zambies and Tigers on Gotham and the Raggies put in an appearance on quartermile reef as you can see from Peter's excellent cover shot.
From now until the end of May we would say are the best scuba diving conditions. So if you want to dive in warm, blue and calm seas the head to Triton Dive Lodge and Sodwana Bay.
Diving to see the Coelacanths with Peter Timm and Triton Dive Lodge
The images in this gallery were all taken by Peter whilst diving to 110 metres in Jesser Canyon, Sodwana Bay, South Africa. This is the only place in the world where you can dive to see a living coelacanth.
Just a handful of divers have had the privilege to dive on Jesser Canyon and a few have been lucky enough to be rewarded with coelacanth sightings with the help of Peter Timm. During March last year Peter diving with The Alternative Dive Group found and photographed coelacanths on a ten day expedition. The photos were studied by Dr Kerry Sink and a new animal was named and documented. Hopefully this year we can add more individuals to the growing database.
Scuba Diving with Triton Dive Lodge September to November
What a busy few months we have had! We have been diving nearly every day and still we can't get enough of what Sodwana Bay and South African diving has to offer. I think we are really spoilt here but take a look at the new gallery and then tell me what you think!
Sightings gave included Juvenile Batfish, Juvenile Thorny Seahorses, Monster Potato Bass, Basket stars galore, Tiger Anenomes, Blood Snappers and just this week we spotted two huge Hammerheads and the first Raggie Tooth Shark for the season.
We have been doing some exploration dives and even found a brand new reef, and yes we named it Triton 69. Its the photos with all the fish and huge Octo Corals!
Enjoy!!!!
Scuba Diving with Triton Dive Lodge in July and August 2012
Spring day has passed and we can feel that summer is on its way. The humpback whales have been migrating past Sodwana Bay for a while now with the new calfs breaching and splashing alongside their mums.
The diving has been a little cold but still great with some awesome dives. Check out our new gallery and see whatyou have been missing.
Scuba Diving with Triton Dive Lodge in May and June 2012
Well the last few months scuba diving in Sodwana Bay have been fantastic!!!! There have been some great shark sightings including a nurse shark, bull sharks, white tips, silver tips and tigers. The gallery includes a few deep sites, some stunning reef shots and a hawkfish with a miniscule toby dwarfed, hovering above it.
The water is getting cooler and we have had our first humpback whale sightings as they migrate past Sodwana Bay with their calves, it always humbles us to see these magnificent mammals. So if you want to dive or just experience the beauty of Sodwana Bay and a little winter sunshine then make a plan and join us at Triton Dive Lodge.
Scuba Diving with Triton Dive Lodge in March and April 2012
Phew, I have been so busy leading dives in the past two months that I have barely had time to pick up my camera. This gallery combines March and April's best photos and includes an extremely friendly marble electric ray, a pair of ghost pipefish, Manta rays and geometric morays.
Sodwana Bay has shown us world class conditions and sightings, the calm seas and great viz giving us the opportunity to dive on the further reefs on a daily basis. We have been visiting the deeper reefs and I have included some of the images including a blood snapper and tiger anenomes.
We have manta rays on nearly every dive and are seeing pods of up to 9 mantas at a time!
Come and join Triton Dive Lodge for simply the best diving you can find on your doorstep!
