Aliwal Shoal is at it's best. Fantastic "winter" conditions. 18 - 25m viz, hardly any surge or current and 22 degree water. The Raggies are packed into Raggies Cave at the moment. Big smiles all around.

Hi Everyone,

The sardines at the moment have appeared in Hibberdene which is about 50km south from Umkomaas. They netted yesterday. Although it was a small group the main group is still in Port St Johns but this is exciting news for us. The hotline number is 0839139495 if you would like to keep yourself updated.

If you would like to put yourselves on our "short notice" list if the sardine come up as far as Umkomaas please let us have your name, e-mail address and phone number so that we can contact you. Please send it to dive@aliwalshoal.co.za.

The approximately 2 hour journey will cost you R690.00 (excluding gear hire if you are a diver).

Well yesterday we had a whale so close to the boat that when it "blew" it covered the divers with it's spray. Awesome baited dive with Tigers in all.

Today loads of Raggies and Black Tips with a Black Tip launching itself outof the water right near the boat.

Come and dive with us and see these amazing creatures.

Hi everyone,

Please go to www.thepetitionsite.com, type in Aliwal Shoal in the search box and find SAPPI SAICCOR outfall pipe - Aliwal Shoal. Please sign the petition to stop this huge factory which is the only one in the world pumping effluent into our ocean. It is not only affecting the income of the diving industry but also (even though they say they have done scientific research) is affecting the reef and sea life - IT HAS TO BE.

It is disgusting and needs to be stopped.
