LOWRANCE SOUTH AFRICA Issue 31 | Page 20

The flat fish or flounder / plaice were very well camouflaged in the sand as you can see from the pics above. Cod species. This was my personal take from the first days diving. I managed nine fish in total, five Flounder, three Plaice and one Cod. Day Two started off with great conditions, however conditions during the competition deteriorated quickly. Visibility dropped and water temperature decreased with increased currents. Air temperature also reduced followed by rain and wind. Before the completion of the competition athletes were removed from the water and the competition was called off for the day. We were informed by the safety officials that a fellow diver Matthias Sandeck had lost his life while contending with the conditions.
