Dive Overview

Diving in South Africa, especially during the Sardine Run, is an adrenaline-filled experience like no other. Massive shoals of sardines migrate along the Wild Coast, attracting predators like dolphins, sharks, whales, and seabirds in a spectacular feeding frenzy. Expect dynamic, action-packed dives in open ocean conditions, guided by expert crews who know how to position you at the heart of the action.
