When you walk in. your greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. A great rinse station for your gear with plenty of space to hang your BCD's , regs and wet suits. And. If your diving more than one day. plenty of space to hang your gear in the shop.
As a former professional dive instructor with over 28 years in the business. it takes a lot to impress me. Pisces divers have done that and more.
I have dived with them over 6 years. And every year. they have improved their product. Their boats are in immaculate condition. Safety first. great skippers. Friendly staff. great selection of gear to buy.
the two dives that are a must do. Are the seal and kelp dives.

Depth. 7 to15 meters. for you others that work in standard measures. 30 feet. Yes. the water is cool. 13 to 16 cel or 50 degrees to 60 Fahrenheit. Vis is subject to weather conditions. but anywhere from 10 to 5 meters. depending when you come to SA. You could see whales on your ride out. Dolphins and of course. Penguins. Depending up when you come to dive.
All in all. A great operation.

  We had an amazing experience with the whole Pisces team. The Cape Safari is something we will recommend to anyone traveling to Simonstown.

We started with beautiful views... read more of Cape Point and the landscape from the water before jumping in and snorkeling/free diving with a group of energetic and curious seals!! The animals were very playful and friendly - swimming up to us regularly. Our instructors Amber and Lindsay were super thorough, friendly, patient, and made sure we were comfortable from getting our gear set to being in the water. Lindsay was a great underwater photographer as well 🙂

Thank you Jackie, Amber, Lindsay, Skipper Peter and Tariq for providing a top notch experience for your new friends from New York City.

We won’t forget our time in Simonstown thanks to you all.

  Woke up this morning expecting 2 great dives and that’s exactly what we got!
At the dive centre we were kitted out by Jack (I think was his name), he... read more was super chill, funny and knew what he was doing. We did two dives, one with the seals and one in the kelp forest. Viz was good on both dives but kelp forest was by far the best. Dive master Eddie was fun and briefed us well, the skipper was great and gave a good brief on the boat. Once back at the centre they gave us water and lunch which was a really nice touch.
Overall 2 lovely dives but would highly recommend the kelp forest!

  The whole team was really nice and did their best to accomodate us also regarding the fact that we had to catch our flight back to Europe the same evening.... read more They packed our lunch for us, which was delicious by the way, and even gave us spoons to take with, since we were in a hurry.
We had a really good time, loved the experience and the team was wonderful.

The only thing which I have to criticise is planning. We were assured we'd be back by the base by 2pm so we wouldn't have to worry about traffic on the way to the airport. We know now that nature doesn't care if you've got a tight schedule. For a few reasons we got back around 3.15 pm and had to rush to the airport. We made it despite hitting traffic. But we think it would be wiser to advise against booking a tour this close to a flight. We only booked because we were assured it wouldn't be a time-issue.

Other than that we really have to thank the team for helping us make sure a bag we forgot in the hurry of getting to the airport got back to us safely.
