So yesterday we went to do our deap sea expedition. The conditions were really good and this was the first time we were doing a dive in Durban. So off we went with a party of 8 divers to T-Barge a wreck off Umhlanga rocks.
T-Barge was a ship that was sunk many years back and is about a 25min boat ride running parrallel to the coast line from UShaka at the Harbour mouth.
So we entered the water, man it was cold (took my breath away). I battled a bit to descend but Robyn had no problems. As we got to the wreck at around 25m we were totally surrounded by fish. There were thousands, so many that it was actually difficult to see the wreck. It was a different type of dive from ones we have been on before. But it was still good. We saw the most scorpion fish we have ever see (they are quite deadly though!) I also saw a sand shark, who when it saw us moved away so quickly. We saw a 2m 'baby' bass (cant remember the exact name), a moray eel, a few Moorish Idols (our favorite fish) & water, water everywhere.
Anway, had a good time under da sea but as per usual the entry to the boat led to my usual sea sickness. Man I wish that did not happen. Anyway, it does and we returned safely to the shore, but there was definetely no second dive on the table.
Was still a good experience and glad we were able to dive. It is just so amazing to be under the ocean and to view God's creation in a different way.
