    I know the water is kind of frosty, but if you can brave the cold then the False Bay kelp forests are a thing of beauty.

    There’s also the shark issue, which for some is a deal breaker, but the list of things ‘more likely to kill you than a shark attack’ is so long we’re not even going to bother trying.

    Thanks to Atlantic Edge Films you can take a peek at the kelp forests have without having to don your wetsuit, with GoodThingsGuy explaining what makes this habitat so unique:

    The False Bay kelp forests are home to a variety of shark species, not just the notorious Great White that visits the bay. In the video, you can see the Sevengill Shark (aka Cowshark), which you see many of at the beginning of the clip, the Puffadder Shyshark and the Pyjama Shark (aka Striped Catshark).

    False Bay is the only place in the world where a person can see up to 70 Sevengill Sharks in one dive, scientists are studying why this is but theorise that its due to pregnant females. The Pyjama Shark is nocturnal and can always be spotted amongst the reefs and corals of the Western Cape.

    I feel a trip to the Two Oceans Aquarium coming on soon.
