Nitrox
8 October
The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is PADI's most popular specialty scuba diving course, and it's easy to see why. Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression dive time, and has a larger safety factor. This means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives.

Wreck
10 October
Many of the worthwhile dive sites along the South African coast line are the burial sites of ships. Doing a wreck diving course will allow you to penetrate wrecks and experience a whole new side of diving. This course teaches you the necessary precautions to take when diving on wrecks, enhancing your experience and safety.
More Info |
Shark 15 OctoberBe prepared. Whether on a guided shark dive or just looking for a chance encounter, you should learn what type of sharks might be in the area and find out how they're likely to behave. Dive with a group in the daytime. Scuba divers on their own and in low visibility are more at risk in waters where sharks are likely to be. |
