Geocaching at Shelly Beach – Featured Blog

One of the things I enjoy most about Geocaching is the fact that it takes you to interesting and beautiful places.  A good example is a cache I placed at Shelly Beach at Lauries Bay about 2 km along the beach from Kini Bay.  I took a walk down the coast from Kini Bay on New Year’s Day to do some maintenance on the cache and took my camera with.  This is the view from close to the cache location looking west along the coast back towards Kini Bay with the cache container sitting on the rocks before I returned it to it’s hiding place.

Port Elizabeth offers excellent diving options both inside Algoa Bay as well as on the Wildside.  Although I haven’t gone scuba diving for years, I really enjoyed it when I did.  When I first did a sea dive I really worried about encountering a shark.  But that was until I actually encountered one.  We were on one of the training dives inside Algoa Bay off Cape Recife somewhere when I spotted something biggish in the gully below us.  The dive master took us closer and it turned out to be a juvenile ragged tooth shark.  Rather than being afraid I wanted to get closer.  Wow, what an amazing experience.  For today’s Video Friday post I sharing a video by Pro Dive showing diving with Raggies in Algoa Bay.
