Hi all, had a quick business trip out last week and managed to get away for 2 short dives. Managed to borrow some gear and first dive on the Thursday blew my mind. Crystal day off Westbrook Beach 20 mins north of Durban with everything so active. Friday morning had the usual dolphins, a southern right whale offshore and while diving a close encounter with a massive Devil Ray which was a little inquisitive. On the fishing front I whacked a 7kg Dagga Salmon (Kob) and got my bag of 8 crayfish. For those who know him, Rowan was busy on the quick dive the day I flew out. He managed to get a near 10kg Garrick and after much shouting for me to get over to where he was to hopefully take care of it's partner, it scooted off before I got within range. A bag full of bugs, a shad, nice grunter and a rock cod and we were back on the beach racing to get me to the airport for check in! A lovely little reintro to the Indian Ocean. P.S The sardine run is just about to start hence the Garrick starting to run....so if you want to see something spectacular....get a last minute ticket.
