Divers get legal opinion
Rule on scuba permits ‘is beyond powers of MCM’

Legal opinion obtained by Cape Town scuba divers is that the
government is acting beyond its powers in compelling them to buy
permits before they may dive in marine protected areas, which cover
the entire coastline of the Peninsula.
The R75 permits come into force on January 1 and will be valid for a
year. Monthly permits cost R45.
