Other times, when a busy work schedule has permitted, have been disappointing - very little clean water or equipment failure. Had a rubber snap on the first load-up and lost the mouthpiece of a snorkel fall off (and disappear) on the walk from the car to the sea. Well I check my gear regularly and the mouthpiece is a mystery - well will just order another Sporasub snorkel from Louis at Rabitech and use a spare cheapy snorkel in the interim.
Had a few queries regarding the late Tony Dicks, from George and Herbie.
In response to Herbie's question about the marlin Tony Dick's speared at Robberg and it towing him around. I took this photograph at the Port Elizabeth Museum on 8 March 2009 - in the fish/shark taxidermy section. It tells the story of Tony Dicks and a marlin of 144kilograms. Note the equipment used compared to current modern gear.
Catch you in the water - safe diving!

Zane I thank you for including my Input with your first Posting for your Underwater Journeys...
I was returning there, but somehow this date works just as well... Happy 3rd Anniversary for your "Underwater Hunter - The Spearfisherman".
You did your First Story on Sunday, 18 May 2008... so your present Story is quite well timed.
Best of wishes to you, and may all your Underwater Journeys be Special... and if I'm not overstepping paddling about in deep new waters... may the Fish outwit you.
From Your Appreciative Friend Magda(Australia)
