Had an unforgettable experience in witnessing the Sardine Run 2018 in Port St Johns, I found our guide Dean and his team Partner JP was very experienced and a fountain of knowledge also very health and safety conscious taking there and effort telling us the do’s and dont’s

i found it well organized and accommodated our every needs, even his lovey wife wrote down a list of itinerary we should do on our backpacking adventure when we had finished our trip with them

what we witnessed and experienced was unforgettable and breath taking definitely would recommend to anyone

You pictures that you have posted here are STUNNING and even though I was not able to join you, know that you had a spectacular time on the water with Dean & JP.
Safe Travels and please come and visit us again and next time you are in South Africa you must come and dive Aliwal Shoal with us.

So pleased that we could show you Sardine Run from Port St John's.

WOW! What an awesome experience. Dean and Tamara really know how to pull out all the stops!!! The things like a nice hot chocolate and shower after a cold dive makes all the difference! Very professional and organised, with brilliant staff!! Thank you guys for making our Aliwal Shoal diving experience extra special!!

WOW, is all I can say!!

We received a very warm welcome to the diving world by Tamara, Dean & Staff (Oh and Eila...lol, not sure of the spelling but she is the cutest lil Rottie ever!!). Just to mention Karen for her hospitality, Zane for his strict instruction yet with a twist as he has a great sense of humour, and JP for his support. Thank you very much to all as you have made our qualifying and diving experience exceptional, and we will be sure to return to you! :-)

With me being a nervous diver I cannot fault this dive centre and their accommodation. Very welcoming and informative. I believe you can get an instant feeling of the right dive centre for you when you go to the centre and I certainly got it here in bucket loads. Everybody was friendly and genuinely looking after you and looking out you without being intrusive. Nothing was too much trouble.
Every detail was there, and the little things make a huge difference to the overall experience with meeting you in the morning at the accommodation to sort you an early breakfast snack, coffee at the centre before diving, your gear laid out ready to put together with you, dive briefing and general care with humour. Warm showers when you return, towels, coffee and snack and an amazing breakfast included. And never any pressure or hurrying you up. All added to a happy amazing experience and I will definitely go back there very soon given the chance, and I really cannot recommended it enough. Thank you so so much guys
