Since 1. August 2019 Protea Banks has finally been declared a Marine Protected Area ( = MPA, National Park )
For us and the marine animals this was the greatest event in our entire career.
All sharks are protected now and with them over 80 species of marine animals and marine birds according to the CITIES List of endangered species.
Every diver must now carry such a license on the boat ( !!! ). It is available at every post office or in our shop.
We have licenses valid for one month at a cost of ZAR 65 once off.
This license is valid and required in almost every dive centre in South Africa.
So it is a small price to pay for a whole lot of diving.
How cool are these pictures !!!
