Who We Are
A PADI 5 Star Career Development Centre — the highest rating PADI awards — built around a world-class facility and a 3000-strong dive family.
Since the dive centre was founded in 1993, we've trained and certified thousands of skilled, competent divers. It remains our goal to keep striving for excellence — and to make every diver feel part of the tribe.
Training and lectures happen at our world-class centre, which includes four lecture rooms, a fully stocked showroom carrying all the major brands, an Air & Nitrox (Enriched Air) filling station, quality rental gear, and a kiosk for refreshments.
At the heart of it is our pool — one of a kind. Measuring 17m x 12m with a maximum depth of 5m, it's the perfect training environment for any diver. Varied depth levels make for comfortable descents for new divers and great buoyancy practice, while the static buoy in the middle lets students experience direct down-descents just like open water.
Our dive club has more than 3000 members and organises amazing socials and trips. Coastal trips are packed with action — diving, hiking, off-road driving and parties the whole family is invited to.
Everything you need to learn, train and dive is on one site.
More than three decades on, thousands of divers have started their journey here — and many have never left the tribe.
We're built around our own Course Director, 9 Staff Instructors and 30+ Instructors — a staff complement that lets us give exceptionally personalised, individual training focused on genuinely teaching diving, not just processing certifications. Strict safety standards are followed throughout, with the emergency equipment on hand to handle any situation.
We're proud to be the first dive centre in Africa, and the second in the world, awarded the DAN HIRA (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment) certification — a mark of how seriously we take diver safety.
