yes, that's the one... sometimes a bit hard to do a relaxing breathe-up with rope skiers shrieking and whizzing past at great speeds...
but hey... no sharks

[covert]

hey diving with sharks could be the utlimate test on how long one can actually hold your breath

[deep thinker]

Mmmm Im thinking crock replica. Lets go scare the crap out of a few rope skiers

[covert]

I have a paintball gun somewhere we can sneak up and take potshots at em

[deep thinker]

Rambo style . See who can make most of em fall... I doubt that well be allowed to come back after that though

[covert]

ittl still be worth it we could always take our rabi's with for protection ... evil thoughts ... anger management ........ :|

[deep thinker]

I think we should keep that for a later stage, otherwise we wont get invited to tag along. I get the feeling hunlee goes there quite often. Nothing worse than a freediver pissed off cause they cant go to their depth training spot anymore...

[hunlee]

ha ha... yes, something like that
good old southern tip, the sun still sets quite late, we could even do a late afternoon sometime if weekends are full?
maybe like monday or something arb like that? if we get there just after five, in the water 5:30... we could still have a fair hour of diving... bit darker tho... if that's possible!

[deep thinker]

I work till 5 so Ill only get there at like 5:45. But hey from next weekend things are quieter. The year start just hit hard but all will be sorted when this ones over.

[covert]

ok ok ill behave ....... maybe

btw deep_thinker how is your melkbos spot if a SW is blowing

[covert]

ok just came back from melkbos viz about 1m at best... so i went for a nice swim in the kelp and so absolutly nothing. but took a drive to oudekraal just past twelve apostles and omg flat as a mirror and incredible viz
So i think we will just go for a pleasure dive at oudekraal tomorow and work on a bit of hypothermia conditioning

So how was everybodys diving this weekend? Went camping at palmiet river in kleinmond and apart from a thick line of red tide close to the beach the vis seemed awesome, relatively flat water behind the shore break but with very strong rips and currents. Didnt get to dive though as I didnt have enough space in the car for the tent and the diving bags, so I opted for a line in the river on sat night. Got some decent bites untill the local band of otters arrived from their ocean swim for the night and entered the river, after that no more bites. It was however very cool to see a family of 6 or 7 otters eyeing you suspiciously from the water while huffing warnings. I didnt even know that they mite be there as its the first time Ive seen them in three years of regular camping in that area. I did however get an idea for a day trip of shore diving starting at storms river and working our way through rooiels and up to bettys bay. Bettys has a very nice looking bay that comes in with clear water in the centre and kelp forests on the side and if you do a bit of scrabbling down the cliffs around rooiels there are some places that looks pretty promising close to the shore. Lets call it a day of fun exploring

Heya Henre, as you can see sat was crappy, so sunday we decided to go for a fun dive at Oudekraal. Which turned out to be great fun 29C no wind. Flat surface water temp of about 15c (which was weird) and 15m viz. Swam around the reseve chasing hotties with my bare hands. But was allot of fun.

[hunlee]

sounds good you guys... on muizenberg side it was mostly chlorine based and surfing... still holding out for us all meeting up soon!
