In these seasons when the temperature is getting hotter and hotter, one of the best activities to do is of course to go to the sea, cool off and sunbathe. In addition to fun, we wanted to briefly mention the flags used for your safety and the meanings of those flags. The flags you see on the beaches are often used to provide information about maritime safety and weather conditions. These flags can convey different messages with certain colors and shapes. Here are the meanings of commonly used flags and signs: Green Flag: Represents safe swimming conditions. If the green flag is flying, it signifies that it is safe to swim in the sea. Yellow Flag: Indicates the need to be cautious. It means that those who want to enter the water should be careful. Red Flag: Sign of danger. Indicates that it is unsafe to enter the sea, often due to dangerous currents or high waves. Blue Flag: Signifies an environmentally friendly and clean beach. Beaches with blue flags are known for meeting environmental standards and having clean waters. Red and White Flag: Specifically used for water sports enthusiasts. The red and white flag indicates that water-based activities (such as surfing) can be carried out. The meanings of the lifeguard flags commonly used in Alanya are : Red-yellow flag, lifeguard on duty, safe to swim Red-yellow and yellow flag, lifeguard on duty, risky to swim Red flag, no lifeguard, dangerous to swim We wish everyone a fun and safe time.

Is Swimming with Sharks like dealing with Banks? I have been fortunate enough to spend the last few weeks on holidays in Coral Bay, Western Australia. I’m an avid diver and love swimming with sharks. This week I’ve swam with White Tips, Tiger Sharks, & Grey Reef sharks. I was also lucky enough to swim with this Lemon shark. Most people’s reaction to diving with sharks is fear. All they know is the potential for the shark to attack. But for me, I’ve been diving with sharks for almost 40 years and have encountered hundreds if not thousands, of amazing shark encounters all over the world. Not once have I ever felt threatened. I’ve been fortunate enough to swim Great Whites, Tigers Sharks, Hammerheads, Bronze Whalers, Blue Sharks, Black Tips, Lemon Sharks, Sand Bars, Wobbegongs, Grey Nurses and dozens of other species. To most, this scares the living bejezus out of them. To me, I’ve studied sharks and swam with them my whole life. Sharks are like dogs, most are super friendly and curious. Like dogs, there are a few sharks you need to keep an eye on. And just like dogs, sharks also give visual signals if they aren’t happy with you. At which point they either leave or you do. My point is if you really know and understand sharks, like dogs, there is very rarely an issue. Sharks are like banks. I’m sure a few of you smile here. When you think about it, it’s the uncertainty, the fear of a negative outcome or the unknown which makes banks scary. But they aren't scary – especially for those who know how they operate. I’ve worked in finance for the last 20 years. To me, banks aren’t scary. I know how they operate. I know what credit managers want. I know what security the banks look for and I know what levers they pull if necessary. Let me navigate the ocean of finance with you. Let me take the unknown out of the situation and guide you. Let me use my experience to keep you safe from harm. Skate Capital WA was born out of my love for the Sea and for my love for wanting to help people in finance. Despite the risks, divers who swim with sharks experience awe and wonder. It's a powerful and ever-lasting experience. Navigating the banks and achieving financial goals is no different. Unravelling complex financial puzzles, securing a dream mortgage, and expanding business operations is also a very powerful experience. Swimming with sharks and navigating financial waters share common threads: risk, adaptation, opportunity, trust, and discovery. Whether you’re a daring diver or a customer seeking finance, remember that being calm and knowing what you are dealing with matters. Embrace the challenge, learn from the facts, and appreciate the beauty—even when surrounded by sharks.

**TIDE TABLE FOR JULY 2024 IN SOUTHEND ON SEA 🌊⏰🛥️⛲⚓🛟** Note: Tide times are always an approximation as tides and sea current strength are influenced by the prevailing weather conditions and Moon cycles (Spring and Neap tides). Southend-on-Sea is a tidal flood plain. The tide retreats some 1+ mile offshore and comes back twice each day (approx every 12.5hrs from low tide to low tide), knowing tide times will ensure you are not caught out on the water. Knowing how to find tide information is important if you are planning on visiting the coast whether for the beach with your family or planning to go out onto the water in a vessel or water craft (paddle boarding, kite surfing etc). You can find tide information across a wide spectrum of platforms, including ‘apps’ for your phone which is the easiest way to access tide information at your fingertips or you can call up ’Southend tide times’ on your internet search engine which will provide the same information. Tide times are also published at various points across the Southend seafront (outside Pier & Foreshore offices) and published in local papers.

ARE YOU DIVING IN? Ah…the allure of a sparkling swimming pool…there's nothing quite like it! 🥽 For a buyer seeking a new house, it can be a very tempting addition. Especially if they are viewing the property on a day when the temperature is warm, and the sun is shining. ☀️ So, let's take a dip into the Pros & Cons of a POOL… PROS ✔️Lifestyle Enhancement: Say goodbye to crowded public places and hello to endless summer fun right at your doorstep!   ✔️Health Benefits: Swimming is a fantastic way to stay active and healthy, offering a full-body workout without the stress on joints.   ✔️Aesthetic Appeal: Transform your outdoor space into a breathtaking oasis that rivals resort-style retreats. CONS ✖️Maintenance Requirements: Keeping your pool sparkling clean requires dedication and regular upkeep.   ✖️Safety Concerns: Safety first! With great joy comes great responsibility, especially when it comes to protecting loved ones from potential hazards.   ✖️Limited Usability: Depending on your location and climate, the swimming season may be relatively short or impacted by inclement weather. Owning a pool can be a refreshing and rewarding experience, bringing joy, relaxation, and countless memories to your new home. 🏘️ But before you cannonball into the decision of pool ownership, be aware that when it comes to property re-sale, it is not always advantageous to own a pool. 💲 In the real estate industry, it is considered neither an asset nor a liability. Some people like a pool…some do not. 🤔 In summation, if a pool is what fits your lifestyle, then you should embrace it! Cheers to diving into paradise, one stroke at a time! 🏊🏼♂️ PS. I have had a pool. I loved the pool. But to be honest, it was a lot of work! PPS. Let's grab a coffee if you want to chat more about it. 🍵 Connect with me ~ it will be fun!

It's been 1 week since our north coast swim with @breatheocean1 I went in there super fit after @epicswimmaui and so amped to get back in the wild ocean of South Africa. This swim was semi planned before Maui, so it was either stupid (as in I'd be exhausted) or perfect cos I'd be super fit! Thankfully, it was the latter, although it did not come without some hitches. Organizing a staged swim is tough logistically and with a tight budget, and being away 3 weeks prior made a few things extra challenging. 1 week prior to the swim, we didn't have a boat! Thankfully, @natsdossantos came to the rescue with her smaller research boat. However, the smaller boat meant we could not fit our science team from @sa_marine_biological_research and @obscape on board, it also meant we missed 1 day of swimming due to big winds giving us 3 days to get as close to Mtunzini (from Sodwana) as we could. It was always big ask and ambitious as we depended on the main Aghullus current to be flowing fast close in shore. We ended up finding the current half the speed we hoped for (but still fast!.. average 1min or so per 100m!) Between 14 and 20km off shore. We managed to swim just shy of 90km in 3 swimming days, basically swimming from Sodwana to St. Lucia. One of the most special things was to drive through Cape Vidal (a nature reserve), seeing Hyena, buck, hippos, and Rhino before swimming through marine protected areas surrounded by humpback whales and petrels. All alone with just my team in the wild ocean in strong easterly winds, swell and current was my very happy place. All for a plastic free ocean and hopefully collecting some valuable science on route (more to follow later) This little video put together so well by @makaira_cameron_02 gives you some of the highlights. I'll be sharing more over the next few days.
