About Gasmic

Another great dive within the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan area, this one one on the 'wild side' ie out of Algoa Bay. Gasmic is an 'orgasmic' dive ie very, very exciting and special. It consists of a narrow gorge with dramatic walls covered in all sorts of local marine 'vegetation'. Max out at 28m and leave breathless taking in the stunning horsefish and variety of Rod Cod, Miss Lucys and Red Romans. Occasional visiting Shy Sharks, Pyjama Sharks and Leopard Sharks entertain while Raggies are not uncommon.
