I went for some beautiful reef dives at Aliwal Shoal between Dec23rd and 25th. A day normally had two dives, one reef dive earlier in the morning, followed by a baited shark dive later in the morning. The reef dives went down to 27m maximum depth. I was diving with Barbara and Jilles, and Walter as boat captain. Enjoy a selecton of pictures from these wonderful dives at Aliwal Shoal...... Read Full Entry
