NATUURDUIKE

Kaapstad het van die mooiste en mees unieke riwwe om op te duik. Die sagte koraal is uiters kleurvol, en die kelpwoude laat dit voel of mens in ‘n sprokiesverhaal duik! Klein vissies kruip in hierdie kelpwoude weg, en die egalige gewieg van die kelp in die golwe met die sonlig wat in strale deur dit skyn, maak dit amper onwerklik! LEES MEER

duik saam met robbe

Het jy al ooit ‘n spelerige hond onder die water gesien? Dit is presies hoe dit is om saam met robbe te duik! Bo die water kom hulle lui en ietwat grommerig voor, maar onder die water verander hulle in die mees spelerige, akrobatiese wesens wat mens kan indink! Hulle sal borreltjies in jou gesig kom blaas, onder die water blaf, en jy sal verbaas wees oor die hoeveelheid energie wat hulle het! LEES MEER

WRAK DUIKE

Kaapstad het ongeveer 800 wrakke, wat beteken dat daar ‘n wrak is na elke persoon se smaak! Party is histories, terwyl ander in beeldskone kunsmatige riwwe verander het vir visse en sagte koraal om op te leef. LEES MEER

DUIK SAAM MET KOEIHAAIE

Om saam met koeihaaie te duik is ‘n unieke geleentheid – hierdie haaie is eintlik diepwaterhaaie, wat gewoonlik ongeveer 800 meter diep woon! Dit is nog nie bekend hoekom daar ‘n vlakwaterkolonie hier naby aan Kaapstad is nie, maar dit sorg vir ‘n ongelooflike duikgeleentheid! Ons sien hierdie haaie met ongeveer 80% van ons duike, maar selfs as mens hulle nie sien nie, is dit ‘n ongelooflike rif om by te duik. Die beste tyd vir hierdie duik is gedurende ons wintermaande (Mei tot Oktober). LEES MEER

DUIK SAAM MET BLOU- EN MAKOHAAIE

Hierdie duik is nie vir almal nie – dit is ver uit op die see, en jy moet baie gemaklik wees met jou dryfvermoë omdat dit ‘n bodemlose duik is. Dit is egter ‘n onvergeetlike ervaring! Blouhaaie kom swem sirkels in die oopwater, en per geleentheid mag mens selfs ‘n Makohaai sien! Hierdie duik word net per geleentheid gedoen in die somersmaande. LEES MEER

hokduik saam met witdoodshaaie

Vir duikers en nie-duikers – klim in die hok en kom van aangesig tot aangesig met massiewe witdoodshaaie! Hierdie is ‘n een-keer-in-‘n-leeftyd geleentheid, wat nie net opwindend is nie maar jou ook toelaat om te sien hoe mooi hierdie diere is! Diegene wat nie in die water in wil gaan nie kan die haaie ook van die boot af sien, aangesien hulle reg tot by die oppervlak kom. LEES MEER

“Top marks for safety and professionalism”....

The reason for giving five stars is not because my dive day was good - it was horrible, a complete washout, no viz, unpleasant swell, just all round yucky conditions.

However, that's nature, and dive operators can do nothing about it. What all dive operators should do is be as professional and customer-focused as the guys from ITB diving.

First thing to note is that ITB is considerably cheaper (by almost 1000.- Rand) than Simonstown operators, which is baffling considering that they also have the transport cost from Cape Town to budget for.

DMs, Instructors and Shopfloor staff are all super friendly and helpful; I even got picked up from my Cape Town digs and dropped off afterwards, free of charge.

On the boat, I saw all the emergency and redundancy gear I like to see: twin engines (VERY important!), Oxygen, comms gear, flares, the lot. Briefings were thorough, and buddy check was insisted on.

The trip to Seal Rock in the RIB was fun in the swell, but when we got there the captain did not let us dive because of the unsafe conditions. Disappointing as this was, he was totally right. Low tide and heavy swells are a dangerous combination this close to the rocks, and as for trying to get back into a RIB in seas like this....
We then tried the PMB wreck, where zero viz and nasty vertical swell separated the group and forced us out of the water after 25 minutes.

The captain did offer to try another spot but was honest enough to tell us that in his opinion it was going to be rubbish everywhere, and so we called it a day.

Back at the dive shop, we were all offered a re-schedule, but as I'm out of time I was given half my money back. I know from experience that this is not the norm in the industry, sadly.

Into the Blue is a top notch outfit that does things by the book, with a strong safety focus and very customer centered, on top of offering reasonable pricing and a fair refund policy. You'll have a hard time to find a better operator anywhere around. They'll definitely be my first choice when I pass through next, and for doing my IDC sometime this year.

Just hope mother nature will be in better mood then.
