Hi all!

[]-[@biT]

Hi every body! What a great forum to post questions, get answers, meet fellow divers and people who like the sea.

I am from South Africa, near Cape Town. I am working on my website, specifically dive sites in and around False Bay. I will post something when it is up and running.

Have a great day, and safe diving where ever you are.

False Bay? Isn't that a preferred home of Mr G.W.S? :crutch

Hi island_sands, it seems that we keep "bumping" ito each other today rofl.

I would like to think that diving is a good Habit, rather than a good bit of brackets


So I take it you have been to South Africa (Stellenbosch) and tasted some of the wines. Did you do any diving?

Sara, i think its H at bit
or maybe HOBIT?

Anyway welcome to the forums, Whoever you are it is a cool site with tons of everything .

Ok you beat me to it , Hi there Habit.

Hi Spaniard, that it is. There is an small island (with seal colony) within False Bay called Seal Island, that is where they take the photos of Mr GWS as they do the spectacular “breach” (jump out of) the water.

The island is some distance from the shore though. However the big fishes sometimes come in closer to shore. I personally haven’t seen one… or know of someone who saw one. You do read about it though…

Hi there Habit, are you telling me that you live in an area renowned for GWS, and there is a known seal food sourse there, and you actualy enter the water Looking like one of these seals ???????. isnt that provoking fate???? No seriously, i watched a docu about your part of the world and about the Flying GWS , absolutly one of the spectacular things of our world, we have GWS in the med but they are Very Very Very rarely seen let alone attack.

Hi Groupermadness, thanks for the warm welcome !

Yes, False Bay is known for its GWSs. I think South Africa and Australia have the largest populations of these beauties.

Just a few months a go a group of divers went out on a dive charter (we use mostly semi-rigid rubber ducks modified for scuba diving), two groups went in at basically the same time, and one of the groups saw a GWS. It just cruised past them and disappeared into the blue. The other group did not have a clue it was there. That is usually what happens in most of the sightings.

Thanks island_sands,

I don’t think I will go and look for them. When or if, not necessarily in that order, our paths cross I will deal with it…
