This week underwater with Jason Heyne

This week underwater with Jason Heyne

Jason Heyne is right in the current when it comes to what’s cutting underwater, up and down the KZN Coast…

“Well below average diving conditions this week with the August winds kicking in gear. Tuesday and Wednesday morning were diveable with the garrick patrolling as the east picked up late morning. A south west wind will follow close on the heels of the north east today improving conditions and settling the sea. Saturday you might find some cleaner water far south coast. Light to variable winds Sunday with a 1m swell running should make it a cracker day. If you have the time Cape Vidal and Sodwana have been producing some good fish! Please be aware that there is a whale carcass in the Scottborough area which has been attracting some very large sharks and 2 divers were chased out the water at Brighton on the bluff this week by a 4m great white. As always dive safe and straight spears. “

Many thanks Jason!

KZN Spearfishing Report

KZN Spearfishing Report

Conditions for diving this week have been above average with garrick on the south coast and plenty snoek up north. ..and daga salmon coming out north and south coast. If the north east drops off tonight conditions on the south coast should be good Saturday and Sunday with not much wind forecast and below average swell size. North coast might be clean enough come Sunday. The garrick have been getting bigger with some decent sub 20 kg fish being shot. Daga salmon up to 35kg and snoek up to 9 kg. Remember if you are looking for the bigger snoek swim out a bit deeper. Well done Garret on getting a decent size black musselcracker. Good luck and straight spears everyone. 

Many thanks and kudos to Jason Heyne for getting this report to us each week.

Red eye Sardines

Submitted by: Sean Lange

Report:

Small baitballs of Redeye Sardines (Etrumeus teres) were reported by the Natal Sharks Board spotting plane. They seem to have moved northwards to the Waterfall Bluff area, and are confirmed not to be regular sardines, by a dive operator at sea at the time.

Jamie Edwards scuba report from Tofo

Jamie Edwards for DIVERSITY SCUBA

WHALE SHARKS are back!!! Yesterdays conditions were amazing, sea was flat and the sun was shining. We also had a total of 9 Whale Sharks out on the Ocean Safari’s, one being close to 11 meters! Other than the Whale Sharks we also had breaching Humpback Whales, one Leatherback Turtle and a Hammerhead Shark. Was such an amazing day out at sea and we hope to have many more 🙂
