Arrived at Blue Wilderness in Rocky Bay!

22 February, 2010 (18:52) | 2009 Scholar Journey, Scholar Journey's

I’ve just arrived here in Rocky Bay, outside of Durban, South Africa,  to dive with Mark and Gail Addison of Blue Wilderness.  Mark and Gail have been running this unique marine ecotourism operation for 15 years, and the pioneering efforts they’ve made in support of the natural history of the coast for filming, photography and science has allowed them to provide these opportunities to recreational divers and marine enthusiasts (Mark Addison, www.bluewilderness.co.za).  The picture below is of Olivia “OJ” Symcox, South African icon for marine conservation, freediving with tiger sharks.  Wish me luck, I’ll be out there tomorrow!  I absolutely can’t wait!
