Activity Description

Plettenberg Bay has some exciting deep dives for the adventurous diver! The reef life is plentiful on these dives sites with impressive pinnacles and walls attracting interesting game fish and marine life. Some of the deep sites (e.g. Whale Rock) can only be dived when the conditions are ideal, so the choice of dive site will be decided on the day based on the weather and sea conditions.

DURATION & WHAT TO EXPECT: 2 hours
You will be met on arrival by our experienced Dive Guide who will sign you in and assist with fitting your Scuba & Snorkel gear (changing rooms and lockers are available on site). Once every-one has geared up, the group will take a short stroll on the beach to the boat where you be given a briefing by the skipper and dive guide on boat procedures and the dive site, before embarking on a boat ride towards the point of Robberg Nature Reserve. You will then get to jump into the water with your guide for an exhilarating 45 minute dive. On arrival back at Pro Dive our facilities include changing rooms and shower facilities where can freshen up after completing your adventurous deep dive.

The choice of dive site will be decided on the day based on the weather and sea conditions.
