We strongly recommend divers bring their own gear rather than hiring on location. Having gear that you are familiar and comfortable with is important for this type of adventure diving.

The Indian Ocean is the warmer of the 2 oceans bordering South Africa. We're diving in the winter season where water temperatures will vary between 59 - 70 F/ 15 - 21 C. A 5mm wetsuit will most often suffice with booties, hoody and gloves recommended. A 7mm semi-dry will be appropriate for divers who get cold easily.

In ideal Sardine Run conditions, the water temperature will be in the range 59 - 65 F.

SEAL staff will be on hand to carry equipment in transit, re-fill tanks etc.

Rinse facilities are provided post diving.
