Details:  I snorkelled a couple of years ago at Hoffmans (before i had my scuba licence) and saw turtles, olive seasnakes mating, and eagle rays, but this time didn’t  have the same luck. Still a nice shore dive, and i just enjoyed the nice soft corals. The dive ended badly though when i tried a new mask, and managed to loose my old one in the process. If anyone finds a black  Oceanic Shadow, send it my way. I loved that mask…waaaaa.
