...if only it was that easy

I'm not much of a diver, but generally when a resource becomes scares to the point that people cut fences, trespass and/or poach, then other people that do know of good "spots" that are not yet over exploited, they generally keep it to themselves in order to keep their favorite spot from being raped.

Only place with a big entry fee is cape point...the crayfish there are generally smaller than the ones that come out at melkbos, ganzekraal and grotto...I dive cape point a few times every season always getting quota and not once have I seen a monster crayfish get pulled out there.

At cape point if you park at the big sandy beach area and and walk towards your right for like 10min u get that area that's always always flat no matter how bad the rest of the ocean is...where at cape point do you dive
