Illustrations of South African Marine Life

Underwater Journal

Welcome to “Underwater Journal,” a visual exploration of the captivating marine life discovered during dives in South Africa’s coastal waters. Instead of traditional log entries, fine liner drawings were used to capture the intricate beauty and unique features of each marine species, highlighting their extraordinary characteristics.

Originally a personal endeavor, the illustrations have since gained popularity among divers and marine enthusiasts. They have been transformed into a series of locally sold stickers, allowing others to celebrate and share the marvels of marine life.
