I am visiting Sodwana Bay right now and it is on the east coast of South Africa. There are 3 capitals in this country. The capitals are Pretoria (executive capital), Bloemfontein (judicial capital), and Cape Town (legislative capital). The countries that border South Africa are Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia. The bodies of water that border the country are the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. The GPS coordinates are 27˚32' S 32˚41' E. The climatic conditions in South Africa are largely dependent on the altitude of the area in question and its proximity to one of the oceans. Climate does, therefore, vary considerably regionally. Sodwana Bay looks beautiful! It has icy blue water that looks cold but refreshing. It was very hard to find the history about Sodwana Bay, but finally I found something that is somewhat about the history. Classified as one of the top dive sites in the world this 50km reef complex boasts with approximately 95 species hard and soft coral, sponges, other invertebrates and in the region of 1200 fish species. It is visited by approximately 35,000 scuba-divers per year. For a distance of 2km vast valleys of 700m deep are scattered around. We call these Submarine Canyon. It was in one of these canyons on the 27th November 2000 that the Coelacanth was rediscovered. It is important because it is not only a Bay, but they also have a National Park about Sodwana Bay. Somebody in the 1950's proclaimed the National Park an Angler and divers paradise. Sodwana Bay is 4,679.01 miles from Baía de Todos os Santos. I flew by plane to here! I was able to just go straight through to Sodwana Bay without any stops along the way. It cost me $1, 234 to get here. I feel very good about traveling and where I have been so far because nothing has really gone wrong!
