Dear Bill,
Weather was bad for diving so here is another photo I have looked out for you to identify, It was taken at Antons Reef, Sodwana, South Africa on 5 January 2003 in 16 metres.

Thanks Charles,
This is Chromodoris hamiltoni, which is quite common further north on the tropical east African coast. It is apparently not uncommon on the northeast coast of South Africa as well.
Best wishes
