If you want a once in a life time dive experience you have got to try the sardine run off the East Coast of South Africa during June/July, it is an explosion of sea life.

The Sardine Run generally runs from mid June to mid July off South Africa's Transkei Coast. There is a certain amount of luck involved in getting a good run so the longer you can go for the better the chance of seeing some action. Make sure you go with a good operator too as they put up spotters in microlights increasing the chance of seeing the bigger bait balls.

Immerse Yourself Safaris run an excellent Sardine Run trip and have loads of experience which is key in predicting marine life behaviours, ensuring you get the best out of your Sardine Run - Immerse Yourself Safaris - About Us.
 
The Sardine-Run Expedition is a unique expedition exploring the annual sardine migration on South Africa's rugged Wild Coast.
 
The sardines are pursued enthusiastically by their predators. Thousands of dolphins, sea birds sharks as well as the seals take pleasure in this fishy feast.
 
Tour operators are very well acquainted with these shorelines and would surely provide you the required updates from your side once requested.
 
The ocean awakes and the thrill is simply indescribable.
 
There are hundreds, sometimes thousands of Common Dolphins along the coast hunting the sardines and there are whales everywhere.
