Hi divers
Weekend dive plans
Sunday: Boat dives from Simon’s Town harbour, suitable for Open Water divers
It is a long weekend, however not one suited to three solid days of diving. As we speak, the swell has just reached 7 metres on the the CSIR buoy off Cape Point. The swell climbs and drops during the weekend, as does the wind.
All things considered, I think Sunday will be the only decent option. The water should be clean and the swell has more of a westerly tendency than it has today.
We were out last last Friday just after the storm swell and the surge was heavy. It was also by far the most trying conditions I have ever had to launch and retrieve the boat in. There were huge kelp islands and much foam all over False Bay. This week was a lot better and yesterday the visibility was 6 metres plus, and the surge manageable. It is that time of year where we have storms and swell and they often disappear as fast as they arrive.
