An archaic variant of alarm.

From a Shakespearean stage direction, indicating that soldiers should march across the stage, blowing bugles and beating drums, etc.

“Divers alarums and excursions', she read, uncertainly. 'That means lots of terrible happenings, said Magrat. 'You always put that in plays.'
Alarums and what?', said Nanny Ogg, who hadn't been listening.
Excursions', said Magrat patienly.
Oh.' Nanny Ogg brightened a bit. 'The seaside would be nice,' she said.
Oh do shut up, Gytha,' said Granny Weatherwax. 'They're not for you. They're only for divers, like it says. Probably so they can recover from all them alarums.”

Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters

Hope you enjoy.

Do you know what they are diving for?   They seemed a bit close to those rocks for comfort.

My guess is they were diving for fun, alternatively for perlemoen (abalone)

Why is abalone illegal in SA?

Illegal to take abalone

Numbers of abalone are now at critically low levels because of over-exploitation. Poaching is the biggest threat to abalone. People in local communities are either paid money or given drugs by large syndicates to illegally remove abalone from the ocean. The abalone is then exported overseas.

Oh wow,   I didnt know about the Abalone issue in SA,  usually here the illegal shell fish collection is related to public health rather than the sea stocks.

Nice to see!

Very nicely done.    Lovely coastline.

My pleasure Droffarc.    Have a great weekend.

Great seascape. That boat and the divers seemd dangerously close to the rocks.  Shellfish poachers? Extraordinary.

Shellfish on the rocks? Better than scotch on the rocks?
