I have been diving the Produce wreck this morning and after 2 very bad days where sea was rough and weather cloudy, the water has been obviouslly cleaned up. Visibility was amazing and probably over 50m. Over 6 manta rays were flying over the wreck and we spotted of the resident potato bass.

Real Estate

Filed under: Round-The-World-2003,South Africa — stephane @ 5:11 pm

A small note for those willing to invest. Real estate in SA is amazingly cheap. You can get a nice house with 3 or 4 bedrooms, pool, garage, vast garden for about 300000R ($37500) anywhere in the country. From what I read real estate is poised for doubling in price in the next couple of years. A lot of foreigners already bought nice houses here.

I’m still in Umkomaas and did not manage to dive these last 2 days. The weather is beautiful but a depression off the coast is sending huge waves and doing a surf launch with boats even so possible due to the talented skippers over there will not give you anything. Diving on the reef might be similar to what you feel trapped inside a washing machine. This is the same situation from Sodwana Bay till Capetown. Wait and see.
