Shark kills man at Cape Vidal

...maybe I should get myself re-certified and go swim with the raggies!.

You only need a refresher . 10 minutes in a pool just to familiarise yourself with the equipment again. Book a weekend package of dives with any of the bigger operators in Sordies or down at Aliwal and they'll pro'bly throw the refresher in for free

Not sure about the Cape Vidal one, but this happened too.
And Spearfishing is the best sport ever.

I must just do this soon, starting get get itchy (wet?) feet again. See if I can still remember how to clear my mask, that was something I struggled with in the beginning, think it was the idea of even slightly removing my mask. The thing that annoyed me most on my last couple of dives, was how quickly I used up my air, even when I thought I was relaxed and breathing slowly...

Hey, like I said, spearfish if you want to, but it's just not my scene. I had enough "fun" on a nav. dive for my Lvl 2, now you want to me shoot at something and actually hit it?.
