Abstract	Here we present a collection of raw and processed temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located off Bassas da India, Mozambique Channel. 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.
