Oh thats ok, I don´t mind other sharks too much, as long as they keep their distance. I saw something similar at smitz: 2m, completely black viewed from top, small white spots on back (it came real close so I could see them!), bull nose (very interesting) and a really long tail fin, in fact my buddy thought it was a thresher, but threshers have pointed noses. I suspect itś a dusky shark. Which are not harmless, but at the same time are not particularly vicious. I suspect that he was just curious cos we had already shot a few fish, and no doubt a jab with the blunt end of my gun would frighten him off. However better reason, and common sense very rarely prevail when a Shark that is bigger than you surprises you from behind

have a look at my thread ¨under for sale¨, this guy wants to sell a whole bunch of stuff (spearfishing and Scuba), There is a wetsuit and a shark shield I am particularly interested in. I only got about R1000-R1500 to spend, but he will sell the whole lot for R5500. So you can read what my idea is.

What model is Apex or stealth.
The .9 is about R700 and the 1.2 about R1200 or something to that like, but phone Louis and get more market related prices from him... I havent bought diving equipment in quite a while

Hi Brett,
Depending on where you live,joining a club is the best thing you could do to increase your spearing opportunities.The Bellville and False Bay clubs are about your best bet. They both meet on Wednesday nights at 8pm (although the False Bay membership has dwindled some). Here you will get the chance to go dive and learn with some experienced chaps and often get a site for a boat dive. The beer is also cheap ............

Hey man
Welcome, lekker to have more cape town spearos! clubs are great, i was a member of the false bay club for about a year, they organise competitions (very fun!!!! even for new spearos) all over the place...stilbaai one is great!!!! i couldnt afford to go anymore cos of petrol from tableview to the club every week , plus there weren't that many spearos pitching up at the time... had an awesome dive on saturday!!!!! didnt shoot anything tho as i was going for galjoen and saw none, only saw some hotties (about a kilo), a wildeperd (about 1.5kg) and some blacktail (also about a kilo), viz was top to bottom at about 10 - 12 metres (i estimated  .We dived rooikranz, ive always wanted to dive there during tail season and this year i will. The fact my dive buddy saw a great white there on the cliffs once put me off diving there, but its so beautiful i just had to do it....only mission is walking down the cliff with diving gear, and then back up after the dive!!!!! (suppose you could kit up, and swim from the kranz to buffels or visa versa) we swam to platbank and back tho as the galjoen are usually plentiful there..... didnt see any sharks hehe, but summer is prolly a differnent story with sharks and fisherman getting in the way! but if you stick to the platbank side of rooikranz then they shouldnt be a problem (the fishermen im mean anyone else have any success or stories from diving there? will be lank interested to know! peace
