It is very difficult to tell a photographer turned scuba diver not to hold their breath when taking a photo. Photographers have always held their breath when taking photos obviously trying to keep their camera as still as possible. When you diving that is really bad for you to hold your breath and this is were breathing slowly and controlling your buoyancy will give you the best chance to get the shot! Sodwana Bay is a great place for diving when you visit South Africa, located in the Kwa Zulu Natal province close to Mozambique. The water is warm and the fish life plenty! I stayed at Coral Divers they are located in the Sodwana Bay National Park. They offer great accommodation and easy access to diving. On this trip, I used a Sony A 6300 camera and Ikelite housing and 2 Ikelite DS 161 strobes. A great time to go would be in our winter months (May to September).
