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 7m off Knysna (34.0763°S 23.0602°E), along the south coast of Southern Africa, between 10 June 2005 and 10 November 2005. 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 7m off Knysna (34.0763°S; 23.0602°E), along the south coast of Southern Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings between 10 June 2005 12h00 and 10 November 2005 11h00.
