Africa Dive Expeditions

Sea conditions excellent, viz 8-10m, water temperature 20 degrees C with a moderate N – S current.

We have a light north easterly wind today, water temperature at the bottom a chilly 17 degrees with patches of good viz and poor viz.  We have thermoclines about as well but in general, great conditions and a superb warm autumn day.

After the launch site was closed on 23rd & 24th April due to a huge south westerly wind, which brought in a massive swell of 5m+, we amazingly experienced superb dive conditions over the long weekend of 25th – 27th April.  Viz in excess of 20m, light S – N current, water temperature of 24 degrees C and a launchable ocean with breaks between sets.

The south westerly wind that has been blowing for a few days now has turned to a light south easterly.  We have great ocean conditions, a calm launch, warm water temperature and very good visibility.  This is ahead of the long weekend, starting tomorrow.  Happy diving to all.

We awoke today to a glassy ocean with a light south westerly wind.  Viz looks good and the water temperature has again risen to 23 degrees C.  Great summer conditions again.

At the moment we have very unsettled dive conditions.  The water temperature has decreased to an icy 20 degrees C and the viz has dropped to around 8m.  diving is still superb despite this.  We are hoping for a south westerly wind to come through tomorrow to bring a shift in the current and bring in warmer water.

‘We had unsettled ocean conditions today with a swell and interesting launch conditions.  Water temperature has dropped to 20 degrees C and viz was around 10m with very little current.

We have experienced the swell from the south westerly wind with surge on the reef.  Visibility is excellent, despite sand flying all over the place.  Water temperature is 25 degrees C.  The north-easterly is expected to come through quite strong today, so hopefully this will knock the swell down, decreasing the surge.

A south westerly wind came through this morning along with some much needed rain.  Diving conditions look great with an easy launch this morning. Water temp is 25 degrees C and visibility at least 25m.

The south west blasted through yesterday and blew for the majority of the day.  Always the doctor wind for this area, we woke up to a great ocean this morning with a light south westerly blowing.  Viz phenomenal and the ocean very inviting.
