Abstract	Here we present a collection of raw and processed temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located off Sodwana Bay, South Africa. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperatures in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m.
Methods	A subsurface-mounted UTR was deployed off Sodwana Bay (27.41483°S; 32.72667°E), along the east coast of South Africa. The instrument measured hourly temperature readings.
