The occasional trips to the tropics are great (I'm off to Pemba in Jan) but wouldn't give up Cape Town for the world. Besides the tropics don't produce particularly good wine and I'd rather swim in that....

Diving the Birckenhead is still one of my favourite dives of all time, sure its not Cape Twon but its cold enough

Where else are you almost guaranteed of seeing a white shark

i hope i can get back to SA this year or next. i was there last year in march and had a great time although i did have some bad luck with the diving. the white shark dives in mosselbay were canceled because of the "wrong" winds (although the weather was beautiful) and protea banks was too stormy to go out the first day and the second day we briefly saw a couple of hammers but nothing else although this was the peak of the zambezi season. highly unusual. trevor krull's african odysea is a great operator for protea banks. sodwana worked out better. i did get to see a whale shark. and then the sfari part at mala mala... amazing.

Hope all Gauteng divers and tour operators keep on bein sissies and whining about the cooooooooold Cape waters.
Leaves the diving here to me, scubaculture and a few others.
BTW: Did the H.M.S. Birkenhead early this year three times but did not even see a fin tip of a G.W. Still a brilliant weekend of diving although I expected a bone crushing site like Bellows Rock and was mildly surprised.

LeCap, yes, we like the warmer water - haha

No, i have to say that diving the Cape water is fantastic...that's why we take our clients diving with the Great Whites.
