Girl, nipples, 2? yeah! hahahaha
Well thats not a long trip....from Cape Town to Knysna is 5 and a half hours driving 140kph...
Guess im gna be visiting Cornwall often then Reason being....apparently you have the best viz and waves...

[podge]

Hope you get a well paid job mate as the petrol will cost a far bit to get to the best bits of Cornwall and back from Reading. But I’ll tell you what it’s more than worth it, one of the finest places in the world is the bottom end of Cornwall you’ll love it.

[samdive]

yup - I live right down the far end and can verify it is indeed one of the finest places in the world - but unfortunately Podge is also right the petrol will cost a fortune .... we're thinking about reverting to horse and cart the fuel prices are so insane now...

[capetownguy]

Ya well.....its no different here...petrol has gone up so much! the price has doubled in the past year....

[ickledevil]

Convert to veg oil... much cheaper! lol just fundng my switch at present.. don't forget the cracking diving in Dorset too... not quite as far but jst as nice. Wouldn't like to comment on the women as the other half may read this!

Howzit, if you end up that way give the London International Club a shout via myself and we'll sort you out. Not much surfing ; although I watched the guys trying to catch the 1/2m foamies last week. LIC are of no real fixed spearfishing abode, being landlocked and with membership from Cornwall to Norfolk (a few regular contributors to the Deeper Blue forum are members), so tend to roam wherever the viz/fish are. Bring a 5mm suit and a short gun (by SA standards a 1m is short) 100cm and under. Capetonians normally take to the conditions here easily as water temperatures and terrain are similiar. 1st Capetonian, Wayne Penn, I dived with in the UK was in Bognor, used a 3mm suit in May and stayed in for 6hrs Brrr.
Cheers Paul

I think im gna bring a 5mm suit...that 3 mil sounds too chilly for me! but ya, im organising a smaller gun etc...
I like the comment 'roam wherever the viz/fish are' now we talking!!!!!!!!!

Where is the good diving near Portsmouth?
