Great Whites and Seals in Plettenberg Bay #prodive
A short video I put together of a small group of us that went through to Plettenberg Bay on the coast of South Africa - The town of Plettenberg, nicknamed 'Plett' is situated almost on the border of the Western and Eastern Cape. Built on the hillside, most of the town is on a steep slope leading down to the sea, which means that regardless of where you find yourself accommodated, you will be treated to spectacular views of the bay and surrounding hills and mountains.
The Robberg Peninsula is home to a large Cape fur seal colony, seals can often be seen in the surf off Robberg Beach. Great white sharks, attracted by the seal colony, can also be spotted from the high ground of Robberg Peninsula. We had the priviledge of meeting one face to face!
Seals have a layer of fat under skin called blubber, which keeps them warm in cold water. Their slick fur coat is streamlined for gliding through water. They live for an average of 25 - 30 years of age. The seal is a carnivorous mammal that usually feeds on fish, squid, shellfish, crustaceans or sea birds. Some, like the leopard seal, eat other species of seals.
A seal's whiskers help it to detect prey in dark murky waters and because they can spend months at sea, seals can sleep underwater. Some seal species can hold their breath for nearly two hours underwater by slowing their heart beat and conserving oxygen.

Plettenberg Bay, Garden Route - South Africa Tourism
The Garden Route is a popular and scenic stretch of the south-eastern coast of South Africa. It stretches from Mossel Bay in the Western Cape to the Storms River which is crossed along the N2 coastal highway over the Paul Sauer Bridge in the extreme western reach of the neighbouring Eastern Cape. The name comes from the verdant and ecologically diverse vegetation encountered here and the numerous lagoons and lakes dotted along the coast. It includes towns such as Mossel Bay, Knysna, Oudtshoorn, Plettenberg Bay and Nature's Valley; with George, the Garden Route's largest city and main administrative centre.

Deep Diving in Port Elizabeth #prodive
Meditation is to dive all the way within, beyond thought, to the source of thought and pure consciousness. It enlarges the container, every time you transcend. When you come out, you come out refreshed, filled with energy and enthusiasm for life. - David Lynch
Being down under is refreshing for the soul. You become one with what's around you - It's a whole new world, yet we know more about the universe than the waters right on our doorstep.
The ocean is a peaceful place! Here's a short clip I made just to show you how truly beautiful it is.

Equalization training - 8m dive exhale 4 reversepacks in Keurboms River Plettenberg Bay South Afica
Caution this can lead to injury - do not try without a trained freedive instructor who knows your capabilities. I was working on equalizing in deepwater dives by simulating compression and low air volumes in the relative safety of shallow water. Note my short dive and slow descent. Before attempting this I had trained many exhale walk apneas where my oxygen consumption far exceeded that of these dives. Here my workload is probably 1 tenth of the exhale walks done in earlier training. So I stay down for less time, long rest time and very minimal exertion. I can now do 7 or 8 revers packs and still remain comfortable for the dive, an improvement for me from one or two reverse pack with great discomfort.
