After a week of NW wind I was certain that we would have a great day of diving on Saturday. I was not disappointed!

Lesley, Mark and Craig headed out early this morning for False Bay. We had already decided that we would go back to what we now fondly talk of as Shark Rock. Conditions looked brilliant! I think that we are getting more comfortable with the entry and navigation of this site.

The visibility was very good, about ten to twelve meters. We descended immediately and headed for Shark Rock, bearing somewhere between 60 and 90. Before we even got to the rock we had our first sighting of a seven gill. We then proceeded to see several of these graceful animals and spent about fifteen minutes viewing, swimming alongside and photographing them. Some of them actually looked more interested in us than we in them, passing by extremely close.

This dive is definitely our number one at this time! Our very own resident shark dive.

One other thing that I would like to mention is that I believe that the MPA (Marine Protected Area) is working. I have been diving in False Bay for the last 10 years and definitely see a marked increase in fish life on our reefs. Well done to all that love our environment in the Cape!
