Warm, Clean Dassen Island waters

A mixed team of freedivers, spearfishermen and photographers headed to Dassen Island for the day. We had great reports from the previous day so expectations were high and we were not disappointed.

We left the slipway and found a mixed pod of Dusky and Heaviside dolphins playing together. Unfortunately the vis was quite bad but everyone enjoyed the dolphins company

We headed to some reefs near the island were we had 20m vis. The guys drifted over the reef watching yellowtail and bonito swimming past.

Hottentot Dassen Island

Some of the team opted to SCUBA on an unbelievable offshore blinder. The pinnacle just breaks the surface and drops to 40m rapidly with narrow cracks running down its flanks. An amazing dive
