See Common Dolphins in the 2015 sardine run

Common dolphins close up with Rob Nettleton and Debbie Smith. Share away!

Common Dolphins are major players on the sardine run stage as they strategise and deploy organised attacks on the millions of sardines making their way north each year. Sharks and birds try cause havoc with these maneuvers but the agility and brains of the dolphins always wins out as tonnes and tonnes of sardines are literally devoured.

Fortunately for divers, the sharks are completely mesmerised by the free lunch and getting in among the action is much safer than it seems.

Offshore Africa Port St. Johns and divingwithsharks.co.za offer packages that get you right in amongst the action. Launching out from Port St. Johns puts you right in the sardine shoals’ course as they migrate north closely followed by anything and everything that can swim or fly, humans included.
