Not much was swimming in the shallows, and even less further out. I took a few pictures of the land as I swam out. The mist had closed in and was to become quite a bit thicker. Camera - Olympus in underwater housing.
I did encounter a few jellyfish and took pictures of these nasty creatures. Size was about that of a 200ml coke tin - pub size. My reference books refer to the 8-tentacled nasty as a night-light jellyfish. "Not previously recorded from southern African waters. Likely to occur around the whole coast, but only known with certainty from False Bay."
We need a bit of westerly wind to bring in the warmer water. It blew light east for 6 days.

We were at Eersterivier the weekend and the water was icy cold there as well. The type of cold that hurts.
I could not feel my hands after a few minutes in the water - 5mm coldwater gloves offered little protection. Hope the water has warmed up. I need to make a trip to Eersterivier some time soon - good diving spot.
