Wetpixel South Africa Ocean Safari ("Sardine Run")

15 posts
  1. After skipping a year, Wetpixel is now considering running another trip to South Africa for the annual ocean safari (AKA “sardine run"). Tentative dates are June 23-July 7, 2008 (15 days, 14 days in the water). The boat will have a maximum of 5 persons plus 1 skipper. All accommodations and meals are included, as well as tanks and weights.

     

    You can read about the previous 2 year’s trips here:

    Wetpixel 2006 Trip

    Wetpixel 2007 Unofficial Trip

     

    Cost will be approximately ZAR 39,000, or about USD $5700. We will need the full boat to go.

    Contact Eric Cheng, if you are interested!

  4. Contact DREW, if you are interested. I am going out of town for 10 days.

  5. But I'm already out of town? :)

  6. I will rephrase: I will be going out of town with no access to e-mail. :)

  7. I can give out Drew's number if anyone likes....

     

    :)

  8. One day I am going to do this. I can't this year though. I can't wait to finally meet the famous Scubadru of the sardine run. :)

  9. When you meet him, ask him about the time he scared away the whale I was shooting (while dressed like Spiderman, no less!) :)

  10. 1 spot left for session 02: Jul 01-11

  11. Yeh .. that whale was being chilled out and loving his photo being taken until Spidey came along !

  12. Oh so the whale which was swimming AWAY from you 2 is suddenly chilled? Maybe if you 2 had worked on your signals better, instead of confusing the skipper, the whale wouldn't have left you 2 and head my direction?

    Geez, I knew you were good mate! But signaling whales to swim towards you - now that is a SKILL!

    Actually, he was. Just hanging upside down... until THE SPLASH. :)

  15. Session 2 is now closed.
