Typical day on the Sardine Run.


Early Morning Rise.

At around 7am we meet for breakfast an.d we receive updates about the sardine run action and the days conditions so we can decide where the best diving will be.



Kit-up and dive briefing.

Once breakfast is finished, we meet to kit up for the days action. ScubaAddicts dive team are there to help you with all your diving needs and to brief you on your days diving and the action you are likely to see.



Dive dive dive.

Jump on the boat and we travel down the river to the sea for an exciting surf launch on our 8m RIB. The day is pretty much ruled by nature, we follow the action, birds and dolphin as they work together to separate the bait balls and then the action begins, the dolphin, birds, sharks, whales all enjoying a huge feast. The noise of the diving gannets is amazing as they surround the boat, diving for the sardines.

We enter the water many times during the day, sometimes just on snorkel and other times on scuba, it really depends on how fast the action is moving as often scuba is a waste of time and just chases the action away. The action is amazing and you are often surrounded by hundreds of dolphin, sharks, diving birds, whales and more. Water Temperature ranges between 17 & 21 degrees C.

We spend most the day at sea, depending on conditions, we take lunch with us and we generally have lunch while watching the passing humpback whales [they are on their annual migration north].



Rest of the day.

In the late afternoon we return to the lodge, where you can choose to relax, download photos & video footage or you can opt to go sightseeing in the afternoon. We are always available to take you on local excursions to show you more of the area.



The evening.

In the evening we enjoy dinner at the restaurant. The evening finishes at the lodge, if you are not completely tired by your days diving and sight seeing, then you can have a drink at the bar, watch TV [Satellite]. After all this you retire to your bedroom with en-suite facilities to enjoy a relaxing nights sleep, ready for the next days diving.
