The Perfect Place to Dive

The seven-week Open Water to Dive Master course is run at our Scuba Academy in South Africa’s Plettenberg Bay, originally named Bahia Formosa (Beautiful Bay), and the area clearly lives up to its name with stunning marine reserves, soft coral reefs, dolphins, seals, sharks and the endangered Southern Right Whale. Plettenberg Bay is the perfect place to learn to dive and our Academy provides the top-class facilities and professional instruction that will push your diving ability to the advanced level of the sport.

African Adventure

Each week you will receive four days' dive tuition and one recreation day. This will give you the chance to experience some truly authentic African adventure. You will be able to enjoy a number of different activities including canopy walks, abseiling, canoeing, mountain biking, horse riding as well as boat trips to see the abundance of marine life breeding at this time of year, such as seals, bottle-nosed dolphins and whales. Plettenberg’s rivers, beaches and the bay itself are also ideal for a wide range of watersports, including surfing, sailing and superb rock and surf fishing. You will also, no doubt, get to enjoy many beach Braais (South African barbeques) and a Boma (an evening meal under the stars, the South African way!).
