Balloon offshore of Hout Bay

Newsletter: Think again

Hi divers

Weekend diving

No dives planned

Diving has been far from spectacular of late and the weekend looks marginal again. There is a wind window on Saturday morning, but it is under pressure from a chance of rain, and a 3 metre swell with a 15 second period. Sunday looks a little too windy (again).

I don’t think that it’s going to be worthwhile to plan anything. If you choose to dive on Saturday, take your time and check out a few different spots before you decide where to get in.

If you’ve ever considered releasing balloons into the air at a party (or a wedding) because it looks pretty, please think again. We found this balloon far offshore near Tafelberg Reef outside Hout Bay. Unsuspecting marine life could have eaten it, or gotten tangled in the ribbon tied to it.

One thought on “Newsletter: Think again”

  1. People releases balloons and thinks that the thing will somehow disappear. They try to think that their balloons will go to the space and fly with the satellites. But alas these things are bound to come back to earth and as 70% of the earth is covered by the oceans, most probably they will fall into the oceans and harm the environment.
