Howzit dop and chop available at club prices (too cheap) This thursday14th we have a wine taisting with snacks R20 and may also have a presentation on Manta Rays by a marine biologist from Tofo (mozambique), which will appeal to the non dop and chop brigade.

How was the weekend diving mine was disastrous went to dive umglanga on Sunday and all I got was a broken fin no I didn't find it It was my own fin that broke viz probably less than a meter. on a positive note I got quite a bit of work done on a new weight mold so hopefully I can start popping those out soon.

Thx, Ranger has pm'd me and I will be contacting him to finalise this week. Will keep you in the loop.

Would be keen to try Tiffanies, heard so much about it but never dived there. But then again, when you r as desperate as i am, anywhere goes!

to summarise... bachelors, currie cup semi-final and reunion with old varsity friends on Sat night. I think I was way too optimistic to think i would be self disciplined enough to make a dive the next morning!

Made my apologies on bended knees to Ranger, but forgot all about you. Don't know who else was there, but i felt like such an arse for dropping u all!

As i asked ranger, pls don't me from future expeditions!

Re: Durban diving 2008

hee hee, no wonder he kept quiet about the apology... the whole bended knee thing would only encourage me to invite you to come diving with me more often

no stress, it's completely understandable. how often are you in the area? let me know when you next around and we can maybe make a plan again. ranger's not around for a bit so our little dive buddy group is minus one and we'd enjoy the company

Re: Durban diving 2008

Will do, thanks. But that will most likely only be in December!
Has the vis been any better since that fateful weekend?

Check the sharks board site and sa-weather almost every day, but don't know how reliable they are.

Re: Durban diving 2008

Went out to Tiffanies on Wed last week and the vis was amazing!! Sea was flat like a lake and everything was perfect, except my aim

Ranger and Ethan shot 2 fish each and I, well, I took a couple shots and then Ethan came in and decimated my happy little shoal of well behaved fishies all lining up waiting for me to get it right. Ranger was way out having a jolly time since he didn't get any spearing in Tofu and was somewhat desperate to get in the water again.

Went again on Sunday and it all started out great but both the weather and vis turned quite quickly and so we had no choice but to come back in. I got dumped several times, losing my mask and all ability and grace along with it. Thank goodness Ranger was on hand to drag me up the beach!

I'm keen to get out there again after spending the weekend in the pool with Helen Garner practicing some breath hold techniques. Learnt a huge amount that I'm keen to try out..

Re: Durban diving 2008

In my books a bachelor party is a completely acceptable reason to skip a dive..... as long as you not the one supposed to bring the lunch. Look forward too hooking up.
