AfricanDive: March 2011

http://africandive.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Tigersharks and Bullsharks on Protea Banks. Every Baited Dive we do , we have Bullsharks. This seems to be quite the norm on Protea Banks. This time of the year we are also expecting Tigersharks to come and stay during the dive. Today was such a day. Excellent visibility ( 25m ) warm water ( 26C ) and we had a nice size Tiger for a good 60 mins on our Baited Dive. Besides the Tiger we had 3 Bullsharks , one Black Tip, and a Dusky plus Hammerhead in the background. This is truely a unique experience .

http://africandive.blogspot.com/2011/01/2011-starts-big.html

After a few lousy days under water, the conditions have sorted themselves out bigtime. Sure, we had 2 days with bad vis and few to no sharks. These days come and thankfully go quickly! Current : 2 kn. Sightings : 1 Tigershark, 1 Sandshark, 1 Eagleray, 5 Zambezis, 20 Black Tips and schooling Hammerheads wherever you look. Guys, we are talking of hundreds of not thousands of Hammers! Another huge plus : we have a clear, starry sky tonight! January 8, 2011 at 10:28 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

AfricanDive: July 2011

http://africandive.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Protea Banks is just amazing. It doesn't matter what time of the year it is, there is always something which blows our minds. Yesterday i have counted 120 Raggies on one dive at the Northern Pinnacles. This is not just an average Raggy Dive, this is definitely unique. Everyone on this dive will remember this sight for the rest of our lives. Visibility is 30m and the weather has been absolutely perfect. And to top the whole experience, we see whales breaching all over the ocean. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

AfricanDive: June 2011

http://africandive.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Zambezis and Raggies on Protea Banks. The Tigershark season is slowly coming to its close. We still see them on the odd Baited Dive, but here the Zambezis ( = Bull Sharks ) are taking priority again. While the tigers were dominant during the last three months, the bulls chose to keep a respectful distance. We did see them on every Baited Dive, but they hardly came close to the bucket. Now that the tigers are moving off, the bulls are back in touching distance to the divers. Beautiful. We offer a high sta...

AfricanDive: December 2010

http://africandive.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Merry Christmas with the Hammerheads. Just in good time for christmas, we are having hammerheads with no end. Today we saw several hundred of these beauties together with 3 Zambezis, 1 Black Tip and 3 Eaglerays. Great vis, warm water and pretty hefty current. A great dive for Protea Lovers who know how to do it! I also want to take this opportunity to wish everybody a merry Christmas and hope that you all will get richly presented. ( preferably with diving trips to Protea Banks! A Christmas thought :.

AfricanDive: October 2010

http://africandive.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Great diving on Protea Banks. We had a heavy four days of doing three deep dives a day with the crazy Austrians and the Bavarian from Tauchertraum. Unbelievable that the guys did not weaken! Kyle and i gave them one day, but we sure underestimated them. But the effort was rewarded with excellent shark sightings. We saw everything from Raggies in the caves to Zambezies, Black Tips, Duskys, even Sandsharks. Visibility always between 20m and 25m. Temp 21C - 23C. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Some of the best!

AfricanDive: April 2011

http://africandive.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Wonder what weird creature this bullshark is looking at.maybe some hitec crayfish? Best Time to dive Protea Banks. The best time to dive Protea Banks is without a doubt now. Since mid March we see Tigersharks on every Baited Dive we do. We could actually give a guarantee on this! And this one was without any bait. Vis 40m These faerytale conditions should carry on during April, May, June and July. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). We offer a high standard of safety and professionalism. We believe in ECO-To...

AfricanDive: November 2010

http://africandive.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Diving with Bullsharks or Zambezis as we call them here cannot get better. Every single Baited Dive we do produces a full on success and happy customers. Today we had 8 Zambezis on our bait station. Visibility 20m and warm 24C water made for a dive which will never be forgotten. The sharks came really close to the divers - close as in 50cm - and the guys had to restrain themselves from touching the sharks. A must see movie. Bullsharks and Hammerheads on Protea Banks. The Hammerheads are here! We should s...
