There are a variety of shallow house reefs which are only a short swim from the shore directly in front of the dive centre, alive with marine life – a photographer’s paradise.
THE DIVE SITES:
Redbait Reef:
Depth: 6–9m
Redbait Reef is Plettenberg Bay’s house reef, is a delightful introduction to the area and conditions. Juvenile reef fish, cuttlefish and shysharks are regularly spotted amongst the colourful anemones, urchins and sponges. Easily accessible from the shore this site offers lots of natural light for photography and is suitable for beginners.
Shallow Blinders:
Depth: 10–13m
A short swim from the shore in Plettenberg Bay lies a trio of pinnacles that is a photographer’s paradise! This large reef is home to many fish species and is a nursery in the summer months. Summer also brings the ragged-tooth sharks to this reef; however pajama sharks, leopard sharks and puffadder shy sharks are spotted all year round. Sightings of rays, cuttlefish and boxfish on the swim out are common and nudibranchs, octopus, sea spiders and scorpion fish inhabit the reef itself, making it ideal for macro photography.
The Wall:
Depth: 10–13m
As part of the Blinders reef, The Wall is worth the slightly further swim. Rising from 10m to just below the surface and covered in many species and colours of soft coral – Strawberry Anemones share space with Blue Choirboys, Orange Wall Sponge and Multi-Colour Coral, painting a dramatic underwater landscape.

Pro Dive Scuba Diving Centre Plettenberg Bay
My diving experience with Pro Dive was amazing. The service and equipment was good and everyone was friendly. - Mauritz
Overall a good experience. The instructor was possibly a little shy and reserved to start and took a while to warm up and make us feel welcome. Maybe a little quick to simply jump into the water without us knowing what to expect or see. Otherwise all professional. - Mike
Very professional and friendly team. Offer different types of dives (from a shore in the town center, from a boat). Shore entry dive is pretty easy and relaxed. - Vladimir
A professional team. Our dive master made us feel at home and gave good explanations. The standard of the equipment was good and a difficult dive with poor viz at times and cold water went well. Well done guys and thanks! - William
Great experience, super organized, even lucky enough to see an elephant seal. Pleasure to do it again. Very recommendable. Thanks a lot. - Michael
