Apologies to everyone for being off the air for the past few months. My girl and I have been busy planning our seven month cross-African adventure and I have since had to hand over the Presidency of the Tasmanian University Dive Club to our new eager and very competent President, Andrew Bain.

Currently we are in Ngong, Kenya working with the Brydges Centre orphange and are in the final stages of purchasing an ‘83 Toyota Landcruiser and about to begin our epic self-drive adventure through to Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, South Africa, Lesotho, Namibi, Botswana and Zambia.

Now that we are a duo diving  team we will be diving for a week throughout Zanzibar, followed closely by some lake diving through Northern Malawi. Once we hit Mozambique we’ll be driving the scruffy, potholed roads down to Maputo and heading out to Tofo Bay, where the whalesharks, manta ray cleaning stations, and sea turtles are eagerly awaiting our arrival!

Stay tuned for the amazing updates, photos, and advice on diving Eastern Africa that I will be posting up over the next four months.

Until then… stay safe in the water.
