Abstract	At selected sites around Southern Africa, Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from UTRs located at a depth of 6.5m off Seychelles site A (04.3889°S 55.2372°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between 06 December 2003 and 09 April 2004. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures.
Methods	A subsurface-mounted, Underwater Temperature Recorder (UTR) was deployed at a depth of 6.5m off Seychelles site A (04.3889°S; 55.2372°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings between 06 December 2003 17h00 and 09 April 2004 10h00.
