Diving with BIG Nile Crocs in the Okovango under the huge papyrus beds is fairly gnarly.


Watched it and absolutely amazing. It must have been one awesome experience, and you better not be scared of small tight spaces. You also need big you know whats!!!!!

For an inland water body I'm amazed at the visability and the lack of silt on the bottom. This must've been a fantastic experience.

Yes it is an amazing experience I have done over 200 dives in the Okavango Delta and have seen crocs on about half the dives. I have been taking photographers down with the last few years. There is a small window when the water is clear enough to dive each year.

I suppose its the same as diving with sharks. Without the cage.
