Hi divers
Weekend dive plans
Sunday: Boat dives – if the weather forecast turns out to be wrong!
We had a good dives last weekend, and our shore dive at Fisherman’s Beach was pretty pleasant. The site is very dependent on the size of the shore break – if it’s too big you end up barrel rolled on the sand before you even get started! Fortunately is was not that bad and we had a good 6 metre viz. A couple of photos here, on facebook.
Thanks to Jan de Bruyn who took this picture of the boat last Friday, when I was out in False Bay!
Surfing
I am sure the best option for tomorrow will be watching some of the best big wave surfers give Dungeons or Sunset Reef a ride, we will launch from Hout Bay at 10.00 am for this.
The dive conditions for the weekend look a little poor. There is strong north north westerly wind forecast for Saturday, too much for pleasant boating, and a fair amount of south easter for Sunday. The water should be very clean given the last few days of wind so I am open to the idea of launching on Sunday if the wind turns out to be a little less than it is currently forecast to be.
To provisionally book or put your name on the list in case we launch on Sunday, you can SMS, Whatsapp, call, email, call on a landline, send a carrier pigeon, or (preferred method) pop in with cake. You decide.
Date to diarise
As part of the South African Shark and Ray Symposium happening next month, there’s a fantastic speaker evening being held on Monday 7 September. Check out the details on facebook here. There are some riveting speakers who will take you through False Bay’s fauna from the microscopic to the massive (orcas, anyone?)!
