WATCH: ULTIMATE OCEAN EXPERIENCES

Ocean Experiences offers a whole range of cool experiences to tick off your bucket list.

Naturally, scuba diving is one of their most popular adventures. And whether you’re a beginner wanting to learn or an experienced diver looking to do advanced courses or go on awesome dive trips around Cape Town, you’ll want to talk to Ocean Experiences.

UNIQUE SCUBA DIVING EXPERIENCES
What sets Ocean Experiences apart is that they create intimate and rich diving experiences across the board. There are no overcrowded boats here, trips are limited to six divers (two non-diving passengers are allowed) and the focus is on creating personal, educational and fun experiences.

They’re a 5-star PADI dive and freedive centre with a 100% safety record, and they offer diving in both of Cape Town’s oceans, with special shore or boat diving packages that allow you to experience the richness of the area’s marine life.

LEARN TO DIVE
For beginner divers, the PADI Open Water Divers course is a three-day tour that includes among others all your training, registration, confined water (swimming pool) sessions and four qualifying dives. And, if you just want to test scuba out to see if it’s for you, you can opt to do the PADI Discover Scuba Diving courses first, which is full training with a PADI pro in a swimming pool and one open water dive, before deciding to get qualified.

ADVANCED AND SPECIALITY COURSES
Experienced divers can also get their PADI Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver qualification through Ocean Experiences. And they offer a range of refresher courses and emergency first response, too. You can even become a PADI Divemaster, which is the first level of professional diver training as well as book your IDC (Instructor Development Course) through them.

Exciting speciality packages include PADI Master Diver Speciality, Deep Diver, Wreck Diver and Night Diver.

SCUBA DIVE TRIPS
Or you can just experience scuba in Cape Town with a dive trip organised with Ocean Experiences. They offer shore diving packages both on the Atlantic Seaboard and in False Bay, as well as rib boat dive trips and even scuba diving at Robben Island.

Seal diving is a must-do in Cape Town. And Ocean Experiences have a good relationship with one of the city’s lesser-known seal communities. Have a look at seal snorkelling and diving.
