About Pisces Divers
Pisces Divers is a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre located in the heart of Simon's Town, holding the highest certification tier awarded by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors. For over two decades, Pisces has been Cape Town's go-to dive centre for both training and guided dive excursions, offering the full spectrum of PADI courses from Discover Scuba introductory sessions through to Divemaster and Instructor-level certifications. Their Simon's Town base provides direct access to False Bay's richest dive sites, including kelp forests, rocky reefs, and Cape fur seal colonies.
Daily guided dive trips depart to sites across False Bay, with conditions and destinations adjusted based on weather and visibility. Popular sites include the kelp forests off Roman Rock, the SAS Pietermaritzburg wreck, and the seal colony at Partridge Point. Equipment rental is available for certified divers who arrive without gear, and their retail shop carries a full range of dive equipment, accessories, and servicing. Nitrox and standard air fills are available for divers with their own tanks. Advanced speciality courses in underwater photography, deep diving, and wreck diving are also offered.
Pisces Divers' reputation is built on their consistently high training standards and the quality of their dive guides. As a PADI 5 Star IDC, they attract serious diving students from across Africa and internationally, and their instructors maintain impeccable safety records. The Simon's Town location is a bonus — it's a charming naval village with restaurants, the penguin colony at Boulders Beach, and easy access to the Cape Point Nature Reserve, making it easy to pair a morning dive with an afternoon of sightseeing on the peninsula.
