| Every June the sardines run in vast numbers along the coast of South Africa and draw all the big predators that feed on them, such as dolphin, sharks and whales. The Sardine Run has been well-publicised but many divers who fancy the experience have been put off by the cost. Dive the Big 5 now offers what it calls a budget Sardine Run, based at Shelly Beach near Protea Banks. A seven-night expedition next June will cost£700 per person sharing, and includes accommodation, B&B and dinner and transfers to Durban airport, though not flights. If the sardines don't turn up, the Protea Banks still await you. |
