Old School

So it is confirmed, my video camera is done for, may she rest in peace. So what to do...today I decided to go old school and take one of my dad's Nikonos V's and try some photography (non-digital). We delivered the film today in Durban, should be developed by Friday.

Today we only saw one tiger shark and she did not stay around (water temperature changed by 2 degrees - goes to show how sensitive these animals are), however, there were well over 40 black tip sharks around us. They remind my very much of dogs, where ever you go they go in the hopes of getting a treat - a rotten sardine.

For dinner we went to a lovely Indian restaurant in Durban with Kristin - food and company was great.

Tomorrow I will take on the sharks with the Nikonos again, maybe I will take my dad's torch...

Booked and ready

It won't be the first time the Leanders will be diving together.

Me some twenty + years ago.... As much as I love to be nice to animals, I will certainly not do THIS with the tiger sharks of Aliwal Shoal!! :-)

That is it - I have booked my flight to Durban, SA. I will be there from April 10th - 20th to dive with the ladies and meet the tribe at Aliwal Shoal. Looking forward to spending some time in the water with my old man and meeting some of his friend (both under and "overwater").

Roger H - be ready man, you gotta deal with two Leanders now.

The Wolf already begun his journey to Africa and will spend the next days freediving with White Sharks - cannot wait to hear the stories and see the pictures.

I am definitely excited, never been in the water with such large fish...
