If I am interpretating the new published rules correctly it would appear that we can no longer dive North of Melkbosstrand up to just South of Langebaan (see below) It would also appear an error has been made on the 330 degree line at this point as usually it is 270 degrees i.e. due West from the coast.
Does anybody else have clarity on this, as when I phoned Mr. Adendorf he did not yet have a map (the season starts tomorrow) and calls to the Department went unanswered.
