The Sardines have arrived

[travel girl]

YIPEE!!
The sardines have arrived at last, better late than never. They will be all along the coast by Friday 31 July 2009. To all those people that contacted John or myself or our hot line, please take this as a general report visit sardine run updates
where you will find all the updates continually. Forgive me if I do not reply to anyone immediately I will probably be diving. LOL

That would be awesome! I just saw this on Discovery Channel or something. My understanding is that with the sardine runs, you have Great Whites snacking on them, also dolphins I believe.

Good luck! I hope to make to SA one of these days. An associate lives in Jburg and told me it's an awesome place.

Yea big up the Joubergers lol mind you coastal folks dont feel the same way but hey the great thing about being here is that it so central to all the great diving and outdoor / nature life in Southern Africa

Spratman I dont think the Great Whites tuck in into the sardines, they prefer more chunky things like seal pups but other sharks have a feast. Its the greatest gathering of predators there is in nature. You should try see the epsiode of the BBC series "Natures Great Events" on it, its a great insight to 'the run' and some stunning HD footage as well.

 

[Spratman]

Yep, you could be correct. Regardless, it looks like an awesome experience. I'd love to try it sometime.

Great Whites don't feed on sardines but I think just about every other predator does it is an awesome happening every diver should view it at least once

A bit out of my price range right now, but I hope to make a future trip.

I can work something out to suite any budget

Sounds fantastic - I'm definately going to do it some day.

Anyone have any links to good underwater photos of the sardine run?
