Description
The Greatest Shoal on Earth is the planet’s largest migration of any animal. As billions of Sardines begin to travel North each year, we intercept their path off the Wild Coast to witness Ocean Predators hunting & feeding on bait balls.
Using years of experience, our aircraft & highly skilled crew, led by our Fearless Leader, Walter Bernardis, the Sardine Run with African Watersports should be on every diver & ocean lover’s bucket list!
We offer 6 Night, 5 Day Expeditions during June and July each year, which include Dinner, Bed & Breakfast as well as a Packed Lunch for your time at sea.
No words can accurately describe the magnitude of this migration & feeding frenzy, no single video can capture it & simply tell the whole story. Join Walter Bernardis & African Watersports and experience the best South Africa has to offer!
Location
Transkei, Wild Coast, South Africa
Depth
This is Pelagic Diving. Although Non-Divers are Welcome to Snorkel, Scuba Divers need to watch their depths. We have an Advanced Reef Dive available for those qualified if conditions allow.
Works Best
All divers should bring dark, dull, or black dive gear, a waterproof jacket and bag, and a beanie as the air temperature can be quite cold in our Winter. A detailed briefing is given on Day 1, and your Dive Master and Skipper are on hand to take you to the action! Bring your sense of Adventure and explore the Wild Coast of Southern Africa!
Famous For
