About ScubaAddicts - Sardine Run South Africa

ScubaAddicts are a specialist dive operator, offering fully guided dive packages in South Africa & Mozambique. We specialise in shark diving at the Aliwal Shoal in South Africa as well as guided dive tours to dive with sharks in Ponta do Oura, Mozambique and dive with Whale Sharks & Manta Rays in Tofo Beach near Inhambane in Mozambique. During June & July we also move our dive centre to Port St Johns for the Sardine Run in South Africa.

During the annual Sardine Run in South Africa, we move our dive centre to Cremorne Estate for June & July. Our Sardine Run packages are fully guided by our dive team who are locals with many years experience in diving with sharks and the annual Sardine Run. Our Sardine Run packages are designed for divers wanting to experience the best Sardine Run that South Africa has to offer.

ScubaAddicts is owner managed by Craig & Shona who together with Keith, Dean, Carmen, Tula & Nelsie are your hosts, guides and dive guides for the duration of your stay with us.


Join us in Port St. Johns for the ultimate Sardine Run in South Africa!

Why Port St. Johns?

We operate from Port St. Johns, South Africa.

Many operators offer Sardine Run packages at the Aliwal Shoal & Protea Banks in South Africa with the offer of regular diving when the Sardine Run doesn't arrive.

Whilst this is an easy option, it's not fair, it's not reliable and is the main reason that people think the annual Sardine Run doesn't happen every year.

We operate from Cremorne in Port St Johns to ensure we are in the best location for the annual Sardine Run in South Africa.

Why dive with us?


-- No student divers restricting dives & dive sites!
We are the only local dive operator that doesn't offer any dive courses, so your dives & dive sites won't be restricted by having student divers on the boat.


-- On-site Dive Centre at Cremorne Estate
Our on-site dive centre ensures NO daily transfers between your accommodation & the dive centre, just wake-up, roll out of bed and dive the Sardine Run - awesome!


-- NO guides with cameras!
Our guides are there to show you the best the Sardine Run has to offer and won't spend the dives taking photos.


-- Small Groups - max 8-divers per boat
We limit each boat to 8-divers to ensure we can carry extra fuel so we can always travel to the action and also to ensure you experience the best Sardine Run South Africa has to offer.
