ON THE WILD COAST
DIVING THE SARDINE RUN FEATURE AND PHOTOGRAPHY PIER NIRANDARA
The truth is that the sardine run is a total roll of the dice. Some days, I was in and out of the water dozens of times. Others, the action was too fast to even get in. I was wet, cold, and salty – my body sore from bouncing along on the boat for hours on end. But the exhilaration of the hunt made everything incredibly worthwhile. For anyone with nerves of steel who doesn’t mind jumping into shark-infested waters, there’s the chance to witness one of the most exciting events on earth and under the sea.
