more about sharklife
Due to the support of our members contributing to Sharklife, FBUC is now a Partner.
With an approximate 100 million sharks slaughtered annually globally, and 3/4's
of the important fish stocks depleted or overexploited, Sharklife addresses this
exploitation of shark and fishing populations in South African waters. Sharklife
is involved in the research and protection of these marine species. Business partners
can be involved in Sharklife, including the annual dive partner program for dive
schools and clubs, including posters, banners, and brochures.

wildside divers
Wildside diving was born out of sheer desperation to explore the potentially new area outside Algoa Bay and further west than Thunderbolt reef, which is marked by the Cape Receife lighthouse. This area was well known to fishermen and to some of the more adventurousspear fishermen, but was rarely visited by scuba divers. The reason for this was twofold:West of Cape Receiffe was not called the "Wildside" for nothing, as the winds can change and develop into near gale force in a matter of an hour or two. This fact combined with the distance travelled from the recognised Hobie Beach launch, made scuba diving on the Wildside an all day and unpredictable affair.
