Dive center

Pro Dive - Plettenberg Bay

PADI 5 Star Dive Center

It was in 2006 that Prodive Plett was born and over the years has grown from a small outlet to a world- class 5 Star PADI Dive centre. With its own house reefs, on-site shop, lecture room, training pool, equipment room, and air-fill station, it has now become an integral part of the Beacon Isle Hotel.

We offer a wide range of activities for the whole family, such as diving courses, shore dives, charters, and snorkeling excursions.

Plett is also home to a large Cape Fur Seal colony and is one of the few places in the world where you can enjoy the unique experience of these inquisitive creatures. You can either join us for a seal dive, seal snorkel, or stay on the boat and view them from the surface...This is bound to be one of your most exciting interactions with marine animals ever!

This is a must stop location along the beautiful Garden Route!

What to expect

The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases. The first is Knowledge Development, which covers everything you need to know about basic techniques, terminology and safety procedures in scuba diving. The second is Confined Water Dives, which are training sessions conducted in a pool or water with pool-like conditions. They give you the opportunity to get used to the gear you'll be using and practice the basic skills of diving and techniques to keep you safe. The third is your Open Water Dives. This is what it's all about - you'll make your first dives in the ocean! During four dives, you'll perform various skills under water and on the surface to make sure you're a safe and competent diver. The training portion usually only takes up the first part of the dive, meaning that you will get to spend a big part of your time diving with your instructor and exploring the underwater world. As soon as your open water training dives are approved by your instructor you will be certified as a PADI Open Water Diver! This means you will be allowed to rent diving equipment and dive anywhere in the world down to 18 meters, lifelong!
