I did it...
Sardine Run - July 2021 off the coast of Port St. Johns, South Africa. Imagine 1,000s of dolphins fleeing for their lives as a pod of Orcas pick them off one-by-one. It was epic.
The trip was done by Diver's Ready - you know the people behind the popular YouTube channel. Worth every penny.
We dove daily with bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins (not one or two - but thousands in super pods), copper sharks, ragged tooth sharks, humpback whales (like 20 a day probably), Brydes Whales, Gannets, seals...you name it.
Diving with the orcas was intimidating. Giant dorsal fin went by the RIB we were on and then you slide into the water, not entirely sure that they won't eat you. But the dolphins are what they are after....and the dolphins after the sardines.
Trip is happening this year again....not sure if I can make it, but it was wicked. Highly, highly recommended.
