SAILFISH ADVENTURE WITH AMOS NACHOUM

Soho SCUBA has teamed up with world renowned underwater diver Amos Nachoum to provide our clients with some stunning trips. Most of these trips are run for small groups, to minimize the impact on the environment and to maximise your time and experience with this fantastic dive guide

The sailfish is a remarkable fish. It may be the fastest in the ocean, having been clocked swimming at 70 mph. Its legendary leaps out of the water make it one of the most sought-after trophy fish, but we’re here for the diving

When a dozen or so sailfish get started, they’ll find a school of Brazilian sardines and, working together as a team, they’ll herd the sardines into a bait ball which heads towards the surface. Frigatebirds see this from the sky and go crazy, creating a funnel-cloud formation, which we use for spotting. The frigate birds feed on the sardines from above, pushing the sardines down, which makes for a tighter and tighter bait ball, and the sailfish swing into action at speeds which will astound you. Now you’ll see what that bill is for — the sailfish use it like a club to stun the sardines so they can pick them off one by one. The whole thing happens very fast, and you’re right in the middle of an exhilarating, whirling cacophony of sights and sounds and sensation.

Just don’t forget to use your camera!
