And another sighting to add to the list of potenti And another sighting to add to the list of potential sightings during the sardine run...sailfish 👌👏👏👏👏🎊From this season.Amazing capture on film thanks @dingusvswild 💪 #sardinerun2026 #oceanmoments #LocalOperator #sardinerunportstjohns #sardinerun
This is what we keep saying 😄👏 Its about so many This is what we keep saying 😄👏Its about so many interesting encounters and sightings that show up in the same place and at the same time during this season. This time of the year is Nature at her wildest and most glorious, hour by hour, day by day, the sighting story unfolds.Some days can be quieter than others and some days are mind blowing action packed💪🐋🐬🦈We are simply spectators, soaking it all up with whatever we are gifted with each day.If you arrive with an open mind and an open heart with few expectations, Nature rewards. Nature doesn't work with ticking boxes in a specific time frame. Sometimes you are lucky to see it all in a short time frame and at other times you have to put extra time in.This is the sardine run. It lures you in, it captures your heart and your deep spirit of adventure and it keeps people coming back, perhaps not year after year, but coming back again and again for the sardine run nonetheless. Its our very special time of the year and it's kept us hooked for longer than we can remember 😄👌growing up on the KZN South Coast, the sardine run has always been the highlight of the year, surrounded by festivities, countless hours chasing sardines up and down the coastline, fishing, diving and spearfishing during this time to being a professional sardine run specialist operator, taking clients out to sea to enjoy this excitement with us.We are already in full planning for our 2027 expedition season, dates and rates are set and out there!!!If this is for you, come and join us. Thank you @dingusvswild @jordanwalden 🎥 #sardinerun2026 #oceanmoments #LocalOperator #sardinerun #ocean
Above & below sardine run 2026... Here is a tiny Above & below sardine run 2026...Here is a tiny taste of what our spotter pilot sees, this is his workspace each day that we are out on the ocean 💪🐬🐋Brad has been our spotter pilot for 8 seasons now, offering Offshore Africa exclusive aerial spotting. What does that mean you ask? Well it means that we have our own pilot and fixed wing aircraft to ourselves, no shared aerial information and our clients can have afternoon after ocean day opportunities to take in a flight with him and spot for themselves and take in the breathtaking landscape of the Wild Coast 😬Brad is an instructor pilot and a scuba diver 👌and it's great to get footage from the air that our crew out on the ocean are experiencing.Dingus vs Wild got to spend some time in the sky too, here's the story less. #sardinerunportstjohns #LocalOperator #sardinerun2026 #ocean #oceanmoments Rob Nettleton Brad Isaacson Offshore Africa
Aside from chasing little silver fish during the s Aside from chasing little silver fish during the sardine run season, we also get to take in the beauty that is the Wild Coast in all its beautiful forms.If we get the chance to head north, a visit to Waterfall Bluff is always, always an absolute must.And if you happen to be onboard Clives boat, you've got a better than average chance of going there 🤔🤣Thanks @dingusvswild @Jordan Walden 🎥 less#sardinerunportstjohns #sardinerun #bucketlistdiving #portstjohns #adventurediving
Sardine run 2026 - all the recaps on our season ar Sardine run 2026 - all the recaps on our season are becoming little stories on the page of the book, which will turn out to become our season story 💻So many people ask us during the season how it is going, how one day is vs another and how this season compares to last season. Its never possible to answer accurately until the season is over for us, until we piece the many stories together from a 54 day season and write the book 📸🎥😄Thanks @dingusvswild for this epic piece of the story 🎥#sardinerun2026 #LocalOperator #sardinerunportstjohns #ocean #oceanmoments
