Hi Johan,

You can contact Chris Coates at Salt Rock Spearfishing club , saltydiver@gmail.com or visit the local spearfishing club's website Salt Rock Spearfishing Club - Home

I'm pretty sure they will be able to help you or at least point you in the right direction.

Cheers

While you in Durbs give the athlone ridge a go. its about a 20 minute drive from Durban in Athlone park. I dont know if you can still park on the sea front but theres a golf course 2 minutes walk from the sea. failing that theres a road ( beach road if I remember ) in umbogintwini that leads to a path down the hill (steep and very kak to climb back up)

Toti ( inyoni) rocks on a calm day is great fun but watch out for the sparkplugs wizzing past ur head. ( locals use them as fishing weights)

the rocks around doonside are good we use to pull bugs out of there. it used to creep me out a bit as its close to the river mouth

the bluff offers many shore dive spots but watch out for the big grey things with teeth !!!! I never dived warner beach but I have heard about some good spots.

Hope this helps.

have you tried the olmeca tequila pub across from the funland ( at least thats what we called it last time i was home) many a drunken night in there I just wish they would put a proper toilet in there.

I left kingway high in 93 when I went to the army in Bloem 1sai Tempe.

Hey man visions was the place when I was young, that and rivers ( river gardens hotel) many a red eye night there aswell. when they closed in the morning we would pull in to belavista for some beers and watch the sunrise in doonside,,, classic man hahahaha

Ok we willl think about that place Wilson, problem is I am a bit scared of going out with out any locals.

Last time in Cape town I got mugged on the street by to drug addicts.

So I plan to stick close to some body who knows the areas.

But why don´t we go diving and get some bugs? I sound like great fun.
I just came back from mexico where I fished some and they are quite fun making this hizzing noise when you take them out

I just arrived in durban yesterday, After a 44 hours trip due to air france made two fck 12 hour delays...

anyway, we got picked up by Jeremy from the dive factory and went to see the rob allen production. Saw the new fiber glass reel, the new slip tip, the open mussle and all their old produktion. it is nice they make the whole produktion in the same building...

today we will probably not go out due to bad weather, but tomorrow we will go.
