With this, the 6th issue of African Diver, we remember Dave Shaw and the epic account of his attempted body recovery at extreme depths in Boesmansgat. Staying with things extreme we hear of spear fishing at depths below 55 metres in a dark corner of the ocean and then experience the madness of the Sardine Run. To calm the adrenalin rush we lighten it all up and bring you delightful images of the nudibranchs that inhabit the wreck of the Pietermaritzburg as well let you in on living the sweet life in the Maldives. Enjoy the read.
