The Sardine run has always been one of my greatest nemisis. What should be every underwater photographers dream, is often nothing short of a nightmare. When oceanography, visiblity, winter storms and the sardines themselves don't cooperate then the days are long and nights often sleepless. However in 2007mother nature rewarded by persistance and patience by providing me with the most exhilarating and incredible hour in the ocean of my life. In 20 m visibility I was treated to a near stationary sardinr baitball attended by hundreds of of bronze whaler sharks, common dolphins and half a dozen Bryde's whales.
