Now tell me, if you had a free dive, would you take it here?

We wish everyone a Happy Friday and a great weekend!

This is a busy little private harbor on the coast of the Western Cape Province of South Africa.
Holidaymakers store their boats and yachts here and there are also 5 star accommodation units available.
Come and have a look!

The diver calmly walked down this slipway where they load and launch boats towed on trailers with vehicles!

Here above you can see another boat in the harbor with a sealion next to the boat!

Unperturbed, this guy continued to prepare for his dive!

444.JPG

He tested his mask here to ensure that it works!

While he was busy with his preparations, another boat came in!

Slowly he started backing up into the water!

Finally he turned to begin his dive!

Just around the corner, there were these two sealions also lounging about!

So there you have it and my question is still to ask if you would dive here, given a free opportunity?
With my luck a boat will bump me, then a sealion will bite me on my bum and tank, or no tank on my back, I will start running on the water 🤣

Amazing sights that one can pick up along the miles of coasts here and we love to take short outings to different beaches.
During the holiday season in December there is no space for even a mouse here, as the bikini crowd arrives from up north, but during the off seasons we have miles of beaches to ourselves.

And That's All Folks.

Glad to hear this and it's no use to complain my friend.
I will visit soon, just a bit tied up nowadays, as some people took chances to appoint me as moderators. I would be worried if I was them 🤣

I would love to diving but perhaps not in that spot, maybe along the coast away from boats :)

I get claustrophobia, so cannot dive, but if I could then it also will most definitely not be here hahaha.

Thank you, but I really don't miss it as I am more of an up in the sky person.
Towers, bungee, flying and that sort of stuff.

Now there's a thing that I never tried, as after the accident I cannot run anymore.
But I had thoughts of diving off a high cliff with one, but the instructor gave a no go, because I would have had to run with the landing.

Must have been so cool for you!

It was we were a bit crazy with it initially trying to fly it when we had no idea how to use it, but then found someone who had one who gave us some tips and it was fun for sure

Congrats on the number 1 spot in the league :)

I was just thinking to thank you for all of the chats JJ. How strange!
This is the genuine truth!

My motto is to go to the locals and to ask and that's how you guys got it right.
You must have had some great flying times.

Without your chats I couldn't have done it and I sincerely thank you for the help.
Even if we didn't regard it as helping, but rather as our normal chats.

Such is life my friend!

We have fun chats nothing to do with the league we just share common thoughts and enjoy chatting
Which is unusual for me lol

Well, it might be unusual for you, but I think it's great, as it takes a load off one's shoulders just to have ordinary life chats about everyday things.
At least that's what I think lol.

I agree we have discussed so many things I feel we know each other so well and have similar thoughts on so many things

That's what this life is all about JJ.
To discover similarities, like mindedness and such, all in respect, love and kindness!
The foundations of true friendships!

Oh! And also a good dollop of humor 🤣

Yes it does, but I can't due to claustrophobia!
If I could, I would definitely go in there with all of those boats around!
