Diving the Sardine Run

The Sardine Run takes place along South Africa's Wild Coast, the action is amazing and you are often surrounded by hundreds of dolphin, sharks, diving birds, whales and more.

We launch from Port St. Johns and operate north and south depending on where the sardine run action is. We spend most of the day at sea, launching at about 8am and generally we are back by about 3pm. We take lunch with us on the boat returning in the afternoon to relax, enjoy some local activities and prepare for the next days Sardine Run action.

The days are ruled by nature, we follow the action watching as the dolphin work together to seperate the sardines into bait balls. The birds, dolphin, sharks, whales all enjoying a huge feast. The noise of the diving gannets, the speed of the dolphin, the sharks and the whales coming in to join in on the feast is amazing.

You will witness the action from the boat and in the water. We enter the water as many times as possible during the day, sometimes just on snorkel and other times on scuba, it really depends on how fast the action is moving and how comfortable the animals are as sometimes the bubbles from scuba diving just chases the action away.

Whilst all this is going on, the humpback whale migration passes the same area and we are often treated to awesome breaches as hundereds of Humpback Whales travel north.
