Run! Sardine! Run!
In July 2021, a group of divers set out for the Wild Coast of South Africa to show that expedition-style dive travel was still possible in the post-COVID era. This is the film we made.
The Sardine Run in South Africa is legendary...
'For scuba divers, there is no bigger adventure. Front row seats to the best nature show on earth.'
'Like diving in a Blue Planet documentary.'
'This trip changed my life.'
Join us for Sardine Run 2022! Details:

Wow! I often forget how beautiful my country is until I see it from the eyes of a tourist. Man I love the culture we have as well as the beautiful sights. On the plus side I am going to go scuba diving in Sodwana this November. I absolutely can not wait!!!

Wow. Fantastic trip. All that action in the water and then a sweet campsite after. Looks amazing. Might have to look into the 23 trip.
