Ocean Scuba Diving

Book now Gift

You'll start off the course by being taught how to dive in the pool, same as in the first option. From here, you'll then go on to the real adventure – diving in the ocean in Cape Town!

Entering the sea from a gentle beach, you'll go underwater exploring and learning scuba diving around three shipwrecks, lying about 5 metres deep. The sea life loves to gather around and grow on these artificial reefs – meaning you're in for a great dive! Cape Town has an abundance of underwater life so you are sure not to be disappointed.

Skills that you learn in this course count as credits toward your PADI Open Water Diver Certification, which is also offered in Cape Town by Into The Blue Scuba Diving.

Course of events

You'll meet at the Into the Blue shop in Seapoint Cape Town at 9:15 am. After registration, participants watch a DVD of 45 minutes, which explains how to use the equipment and what you should expect during your dives. From here you'll go to the diving pool, where the dive instructor will teach you how the equipment works and a few skills that will make you comfortable in the sea.

When you are ready, you'll proceed to the real fun – diving in the ocean!

Your day should finish at roughly 15:00.

I have always wanted to dive but never got the opportunity to do so. Well I'm hooked now. I really loved it and the instructor (Spade) was amazing.

It was very cool to have the experience of breathing under water, learn the first and most important things about scuba diving and then try it out in the water. Now, we are 100% sure we want to go further and do the open water course. This experience is not expensive at all. Now we know the money for the course will be worth it for sure!
