GoDive Following The Sardines to Cintsa Today

GoDive Following The Sardines to Cintsa Today: the sardines are on the move. They are still busy congregating and as we move north, tighter and tighter shoals and baitballs will form. As the predators line up and set their ambush strategies. Lotsa co-operation between the sharks, dolphins and gannets as these main players jockey and jostle the sardines into order.

Over to GoDive Dive Master checking in with Elton…following the sardines today…

“How’s it Elton
um so winds picking up today
um I don’t think we’re gonna
gonna launch today um
so we’ll be doing uh
wheel bearings brakes
everything get the cars and trailers
uh ready for
for Cintsa um yeah
it was it was a lekka PE trip
but uh
just wish we had some stable bait balls
um yeah
sardines were quite scattered um
I think going up to Cintsa is gonna be a good idea
have them funneled funneled into a smaller search
area that would help a lot as well um
but yeah we had some brydes whales uh
humpback dolphins uh
common dolphins bottlenose dolphins and uh
actually first time that I’ve ever seen uh
two pilot whales um
so we’ve spoken to the other guys around here
sometimes they they do come into the into the bay um
so yeah my first time um and I’m pretty sure quite of a
quite a few of our clients
first time ever seeing one as well um
so yeah that was quite awesome but I do think uh
since it’s gonna be a bit better um
just hoping for some
some stable bait balls that stay inside instead of the
the kind of scattered deeper sardines
so just a quick update thanks man”

Thanks for the update, team, and we are so looking forward to hearing about your first dive in the Cintsa area!
