Hiya all!

John, I think I could get the guys who have made mine for me to make you one, will drop you an email with prices and stuff.
It was a bit of a mission to source the right materials et al, so if you want to save some time and error, learn from my mistakes!!

Hugs from dusty Dahab,
Hanli

Ello kids decided to come say hi again, now that my kid has teeth ,and can swear and hold her whiskey i guess i can start diving again. Oh the glorious age of toddlerism
 
sabc news say hectic front coming in from tomorrow with strong northwesters on sat (although windguru only shows mild south westers with plenty rain tomorrow) - where will be good for diving ?
 

Hey Calliecal, you must still post those recipes and tips for me.
 
Yep, it doesn't look good. The Navy is having their festival this weekend, so maybe checking out boats and drinking Guiness in Simon's Town will be a better option.

Hey Sean, I would not pay anyone to work on my gun, 95% of the stuff one can do one self. Also i have made up quite a list a different places where one can get parts for much cheaper. Louis is a good guy and he has everything you need, but you pay through your ear for it. I've always had to spearfish on a shoestring, i have also been restoreing some older guns, so i have learnt alot about where to get stuff on a tight budget.

Also guys i would not trust the SABC (very unreliable). Try www.windinder.com
Prediction is a mild southerly (5 knots) getting stronger later to the evening 5pm.
I suspect with the weird westerly wind today and yesterday (getting stronger 2night) , also considering how flat falsebay is today. I rekon an early morning dive at Smits ot Millers would be quite promising. That's my Guess

Falsebay around kalkbay this morning was a mirror. If i did not have to work + did not have the flu, I would be treasure hunting off the harbour wall this morning.

Yeah, when i say "mirror" i mean flat, that's what i could see from the road.
As far as viz is concerned i'm not sure, best person to ask is x-yeti (John) cos his flat overlooks long beach, Simonstown. Also i'm going through again tonight and coming back in the morning, i could probally get you a viz report in the early morning. Would love to dive with ya but i'm a bit too sick.
 
aaah shyte.....thx dude...if you dont mind sending a message when/if you have a look that'll be great!
Neptunes Dairy on the Atlantic side of the reserve is calling my name hehe
 
I dunno ey...with the westerly, theoretically False bay should be clear, and Atlantic crap. But i won't put my head on the block for it.
 
i suppose ill go early and have a look anyway.....mikes offered to pay petrol now got some stuff to do in observatory if they dive doesnt happen anyway.
thx man..enjoy the wkend
 
It is quite hard to judge vis today because it is overcast. Take a look at Weatherman John's Daily Pic. I'm going to take a quick dip around the Clan Stuart, so I'll give you an updated report later
