We have been operating in Sodwana Bay since 1994 and want to show you the best of our reefs! Pisces stands for personal, safety, fun, caring for the environment. We operate full time from the unspoiled shores of Sodwana Bay, situated in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa's first World Heritage Site established in 1999.
Pisces Diving cater for every level of diver - from first timers, to our scuba diving pioneers with more dives than one can count. We cater for groups, schools, clubs and individuals. Impi, our 8-meter semi-rigid orange super duck with brand new twin 115 Mercury engines is custom made to ensure your comfort - we have more than enough space for you, all your technical gear and modern state of the art cameras.
With the Pisces Team's extensive knowledge of not only the pristine marine ecosystems Sodwana has to offer, but also the enchanting historical background of the land known as "Little one on its own" a.k.a Sodwana Bay.
We offer dive excursions to Sodwana Bay's extensive range of dive sites; based on your qualifications and requirements.
Our highly trained DM's have attended a Reef Orientation Course and Fish ID Course to ensure you receive the best of the best to offer. Pre- and post-dive briefings are held at our gazebo before and after each dive by the dive leader (Dive Master or Instructor). We cover all information from the boat procedures, our safe diving practices, where we are diving and what you can expect to see within the particular or specific reef. This is done with the use of our marine reference books on the beach and as we dive every day, we successfully know where to find what you are looking for!
We like to encourage a relaxed environment, so you get to enjoy your diving holiday to the fullest. Our dive times are based solely on the depth and maximum allowable bottom times. Why cut your dive short when you have more than enough air and are nowhere near deco limits? There's no need to rush!
We believe in healthy living and protecting our environment by not having lollipop or any other candy packets polluting our precious natural environment. After your dive, the Pisces Diving Beach Crew will wash your gear and diving equipment in environmentally friendly shampoo. We do provide fresh water buckets for your cameras and dive computers, if required.
If you are lucky enough you may get to swim alongside whale, tiger, bull, ragged tooth, hammerhead and reef sharks, lets not forget the exquisitely aloof manta rays.
