Ignore any negative reviews! Perfect organisation from start to finish 😃 Very safe, organised, fun diving. Anyone moaning about being cold should research SA diving before booking 😂

Really professional and experienced dive centre, with great kit for the cold water. We really enjoyed diving with them, and would definitely do so again, without thinking twice. Great knowledge of the local fish and plant life and it was nice having the time at the end of the dive to go through what we saw. Highly recommend!

Enrolling in the 1 year Career Development Programme at Pisces Divers has been a truly transformative experience, that has turned my quiet, unsure matriculant into a passionate diver with professional skills. My son didn't just learn to dive; he mastered becoming a valuable asset to a hands-on, thriving business. The mentorship from Koen's experienced team fostered a very supportive community that built immense confidence in a teen needing direction and purpose. Thank you Koen and Team Pisces 👏👏👏👏👏 #proudmum #best11months

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Besuch und können diese Tauchschule wirklich von Herzen empfehlen! 🤿💙 Man fühlt sich hier als Kunde sofort willkommen und merkt, dass sich für jeden einzelnen Gast wirklich Zeit genommen wird. Die Beratung ist persönlich, kompetent und mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Besonders begeistert waren wir von der perfekten Maskenberatung. Mein Mann hatte bisher immer Probleme, eine wirklich passende Maske zu finden. Hier wurde sich extra viel Zeit genommen und so lange ausprobiert und beraten, bis die perfekte Maske gefunden war. 🙌 Auch die deutsche Mitarbeiterin aus Augsburg können wir absolut empfehlen – super freundlich, kompetent und hilfsbereit!

Great experience with a fantastic team! We had a lot of fun, always felt safe, and the equipment was in great condition. We also completed the Nitrox course, which was explained very clearly and professionally. Highly recommended!
