The weather in Cape Town has not been conducive to diving! There have been some absolutely massive storms in the mornings which have made the seas so rough that it would just be silly to try to go out in them. Believe it or not, Cape Town actually got snow. Okay, the snow was only in the mountains outside of the city, but still – I never thought I’d go home talking about the snow capped peaks of South Africa! Whilst trapped on shore I’ve been keeping myself busy, checking out the Two Oceans Aquarium, helping University of Cape Town researchers with some baboon data collection and visiting the Save Our Seas Foundation Shark Centre, which is doing so much to help protect great whites and other sharks in Cape Town and to improve public understanding of the importance of ocean ecosystems. I’ve also done a bit of sightseeing in the evenings when the light becomes absolutely stunning, so I hope you enjoy these photos!
