It is just accross the bay from where I live Nikimcbee (Hermanus). The Great Whites congregate in what has become internationally known as "shark alley" because of the never ending food source from seal island. We had a tradgedy last month when a shark diving boat was returning to shore with 10 tourists on board plus crew and was hit by a freak wave. 2 Americans and 1 Norwegian were killed.

Now that's a bad place to tread water !
Yes, but such a beautiful place - these pics are from outside my work. In the one is the car park. Gansbaai, where the shark diving charters leave from are across the bay towards the right. We, in Hermanus are known for land base and boat whale watching. That bay you see in the pic (Walker Bay) is home to the 'Sourthern Right whale' from July through to November.
