Pictures of a diver in a school of fish, in the backlight and a safety diver in white shark territory of Dyer Iceland, South Africa. The photos were taken at the Ras Mohammad in the Sinai, at the drop off of the Namena Barrier Reef on Fiji and off Dyer Island in South Africa. In the first two places, the underwater visibility was very good and the water temperature was pleasant. While diving off Dyer Island or in the False Bay near Cape Town, a dry diving suitis certainly the better choice. Even with a 7 mm semi-dry diving suit you are freezing within a short time. According to the season, the underwater temperatures range between 9°C and 16°C. Due to the often strong swell and the plancton-rich water, the horizontal visibility under water ranges between a few centimetres and eight metres. It is said that there are also “blue water” days and a visibility between 12 and 15 metres, but unfortunately, that was never the case with me. Even though I have already been there at different times during winter (mostly three to four weeks), I had a maximum horizontal visibility of eight metres only on one single day. Fortunately, at this time the White Sharks were there and I was able to take the photos I had waited for years. In this case, all previous bad-weather days were quickly forgotten. total photos: 38 page 1 of 2 page 2 -> Airbubbles Yellow and Blueback Fusilier and diver Yellow and Blueback Fusilier and diver Yellow and Blueback Fusilier and diver Yellow and Blueback Fusiliers decompression stop under the diving boat Fish gathering divers wait on sharks Giant Travelly Fish gathering Giant Trevally and diver Sea fan and diver Luftblasen Reef scenic with diver Safety diver Fish gathering Yellow and Blueback Fusilier and diver Giant Trevally and diver divers wait on sharks Fish gathering Fish gathering Fish gathering diver divers wait on sharks Diver and fishes Fish gathering Taucher und Korallenfische Taucher unterwegs zum Boot divers wait on sharks Taucherin im blauen Suedseewasser page 1 of 2 page 2 ->
