Coopers -Durban South Africa Great White 5m - Aliwal Shoal by Paul Naude |
|
GREAT WHITE / RAGGED TOOTH / GREY NURSE / LAZY GREY Sharks Aliwal Shoal - South Africa Situauated South of Durban to the busy small Diving town of Umkomaas. Launch from Umkomaas River by Inflatable 5km to Aliwal Shoal. Book through Sharon at Durban Undersea Club 3681199 or with Aliwal Dive Charters - Umkomaas contact Sweenie. The Shark Dive Video is stunning, captured with the best I've seen of Raggies. Clear water and calm Divers and Raggies make good video which this is. The Video was taken with approximately 30m Vis. I have Video Aliwal on more than 50 occasions and this is the best and will bring back many memories of the Raggies and the Shoals terrain to Divers. Please Fight feeding Sharks for entertainment, and cash as the sharks start to associate divers with food. Do we have to wait to lose Divers to Shark Attacks before the Shark Feeding is outlawed
Remember "Don't feed the Monkeys"
Included on the video is my Hi8 meet with a Great White. This Girl above is included on the video during a 5m safety stop on Aliwal Shoal South Africa. After much debate the experienced skipper "Reane" that plucked us from the water says she was a long as his boat 6m so we settled on 4.5 to 5m. At first glance underneath me I was thrilled to see another whale shark cruise past as we had swam with some at Sodwana some weeks before, but as she revealed the whole of herself the identification and shock sank in !! She actually twisted her body sideways to see us as she cruised. The footage includes the typical buzz swimming a large circle around us anti clockwise then clockwise to head on. Luckily our boat hearing our shouts for help alarmed the shark when they sped up to our rescue, nearly riding over her. Later, it was discovered that "Chumming" had taken place that day.
