?3/12/2006 - Tiger shark dive
|
I have been far to quiet here lately. As promised to a few people here are some of the vid caps from my latest dive with the Tiger Sharks. Sorry for the poor quality, I dont know how to get them at a higher res off the video. Tring to make a low res video too, just a bit of a mission to keep the file size down without ruining the quality. Soon as thats sorted I will post that too.

Couple of pics of Raggies (Sand Tigers) and Zambezi's (Bull's) at Protea Banks. If any of you ever come out to SA I can highly recommend Protea Banks as a dive site.

?8/24/2005 - A shark dive, of sorts
|
So I am down in Cape Town for
business, I have been looking forward to this for a while now hoping to
get a few dives in.Unfortunately the conditions have been really crappy. So last night I was supposed to go out for a strategy session with the boss, managed to get out of that and other plans fell by the way side so I contacted a friend that runs the aquarium dives at the Two Oceans Aquarium. He said cool come along and give us a hand cleaning the shark tank. So I got to swim around the shark tank with a couple of pretty large raggies, nice warm water and very very clear. Sure its not a "real" dive. But I am just glad I had the opportunity to get wet. Found a couple of teeth too :)

?7/12/2005 - Raggies, raggies everywhere
|
What could be better than Aliwal Shoal from June-Nov? Where else can you see upwards of 20-50 sharks in a single dive? Just dropping onto the sand and staying in one spot for a whole dive? Doesnt sound like much fun but when you have sharks constantly cruising above and around you it can be one of the best diving experiences around. Then again if you do decide to swim off you could encunter a few manta rays, turtles, lionfish and more Bliss! |

?7/12/2005 - White shark encounter
|
This has to be my favourite dive of all time! We were diving pinacles on Protea Banks. We were relaxing under an overhand watching the fish and a pretty big Tiger shark, it was around 4m long. Next thing the reef just went quiet, no fish, the Tiger swam off. We looked at each other and said ok lets go up As we swam out from the overhang a MASSIVE White shark swam over us, she was at least 5.5m long and absolutely HUGE. After the initial shock we sort of calmed down and went back under the overhang, she swam past us three times and was realy eyeing us out, you could almost see the curiosity in her eyes. We hit our minimum air and decided to ascend, she followed us up all the way to our saftey stop, staying around 3m away from us at all times. Needless to say it was an interesting safety stop! We deployed our SMB and looked up to make sure the boat was above us, we ascended to underneath the boat and my buddy went over first. The White shark was still around 3m away from me just below. I took my chance and bolted over the side of the boat, I was shaking so much from the excitement. We then looked over the edge and she lifter her head out the water to check us out again. She circled the boat a few times, raising her head out the water 3 more times and then she swam off. This was without a doubt the best White Shark encounter I have ever had, she was the biggest I have seen and it was an amazing experience. I have been in the water quite a few times with White sharks, mostly on the wreck of the Birckenhead, but this was the first time one so big was around and in such clear water. Needless to say I now keep a camera with me on each and every dive! |
