dive weekend for all

Good day to all who are reading this,

We are doing some dive on the 17th of October 2009 on Aliwal Shoal in Umkomaas. We will be doing a Wreck dive at 07h00 -you need to have your Advanced or you can do it as an Adventure dive. The sea conditions have improved since we last dived the Produce which was last week.

You can book for either the wreck dive if you are qualified or for the reef dive which is open to all level of divers from open water and this dive will take place at 11H00. The Raggies are still around and the conditions on the Shoal have been awesome on the last couple of dives, with mild currents. Well done to Pauline for finding a weight belt that we salvaged.

Umkomaas Clean Up Report

hello, all

Last weekend we did the Umkomaas clean up and wow it was almost perfect conditions ,

We dived from Cathedral to the fish cresh , and picked up bits of plastic , line as well as lures , this part of the reef isn't dived often , but was very beautiful we saw raggies , potato bass, a large Natal wrasse as well as a baby clown surgeon.

The second dive we did the Nebo , which is the one wreck of the Shoal but less often dived , as the vis isn't always clear , the current was N/S and was clean at the bottom, , we still had our mission to clean our playgrounds and took many different lengths which covered sections of the wreck.
