Epinephelus Tukula
Potato Bass
This large friend to scuba divers can best be seen at Doodles in Mozambique. It is a robust fish, grey-brown with dark blotches over the body and fins. The older the potato bass, the darker the blotches. If you're quiet and calm, you can get really close and see it's teeth in its huge mouth! The potato bass will raise it's dorsal fin - it looks like a large saw on it's back - if you get too close when uninvited. The potato bass can reach 2.2m in length and is aggressive if provoked. They eat fish, skates, crabs, lobsters etc. It is illegal to spear fish these giants in South African waters.

We are looking at running courses via PADI E-Learning but need to have a trial run. This would be beneficial for anyone who has serious time constraints or stay far from Scubaversity. You will still need to pay for your course and soft gear but would benefit by not having to pay for your course material. First 5 people to phone 011 958 2418 will be selected. Speak to Melani
