Pisces Diving Sodwana Bay

WOW. JUST WOW! I did my Open Water Dive Certificate with Pisces in December, and I have to say—I was super impressed! From the quality of instructing to the amazing staff, everything was top-notch. They are truly a family-oriented dive school, helping wherever they can—from setting up to de-kitting at the end of a dive. The dive masters and instructors are super chill, knowledgeable, and focused on safety. From the pre-dive briefing to the boat ride back to shore, you learn so much. They notice the little details underwater, make sure everyone is safe (and the environment too), and our skipper Louis shared his years of experience—it was just perfect. Safe to say, I’m officially part of the Pisces family. I highly recommend them if you want to see one of South Africa’s most beautiful underwater worlds 🐠💙. Their dives are also really well priced—much more affordable than other schools in Sodwana Bay, without compromising quality. Naide, Louis, and the team—thanks for an unforgettable experience! See you again soon!

We had a fantastic time diving with Pisces. From the email and messaging comms with Naide, to our amazing instructor Taj, we couldn’t have asked for a better team to take us through our open water certification. Taj took her time with us and was so patient through teaching us all the required skills. At the price and experience that Pisces offers - we couldn’t have asked for more. A huge thank you to Naide, Taj and the rest of the team for giving us a once in a lifetime experience. We will never forget it and look forward to many more dives!

It was an absolutely amazing diving experience for both me and my boyfriend! The staff was incredibly sweet and professional ; Naide, Louis, Paul, and Lexie made us feel so welcome from start to finish. We truly enjoyed every moment here, and the location is a real hidden gem 💎🌺🌴🌊🤿 The vibe, the people, the food, the boat, everything was perfect. The water was crystal clear and deep blue 🐠⚓️. We saw green turtles, long-neck turtles, a shark species (I can’t remember which one!), and so many colorful fish. I can’t recommend Pisces Diving enough, an unforgettable experience ! 🩷

We had an amazing time with Pisces! We were traveling from the U.S. and I had a million questions before booking our Open Water certification plus additional dives for a diver that was already certified. Naide was so informative and quick to respond. I was confident that we were in good hands even before arriving to the country, meeting her in person was even better. Gus was our Instructor and he was absolutely amazing as well. He was the perfect mix of patient, relaxed but professional, and fun. I don't know that I would have made it through the course with out him. He really helped put me at ease. On the beach every single employee we met was delightful. Everyone clearly loves their job and the people they work with. Karl was an expert boat captain and made the experience even more enjoyable. I only wish we lived closer so we could continue to explore the reef with them, which is also a 5-star diving location!

Wow, what an amazing service and team. Stood miles above the rest, this dive centre was the most efficient, disciplined and standardised I’ve seen in South Africa. The booking process was incredibly personable and easy. They made every effort to accommodate all the requirements of our big group of 10 divers. Everyday we were asked where we’d like to go and what we’d like to see. Somehow the guides and skipper are talking to the ocean and asking for some amazing sights. It did not disappoint, we saw everything we wanted to and more. Each dive just as exciting as the next. Louis - the big boss is a pristine example of what a dive centre leader should be. He has many years of experience in this area and it really shows. No matter how rough the conditions he got us out past the surf without even feeling the swell. His knowledge of the area and life is immense. The biggest thing about him for me was despite the many years of work, it’s clear he hasn’t got lazy. He brought his 100% every day. Incredible man. Naide - She was the reason we chose this centre over the others. Her personal touch during booking and whilst there made us all feel like we were part of the family. A kind hearted women with a passion for giving people the best experience. Can’t imagine I’ll get a service like that any time soon. Utterly faultless! Instructors & DMs - It is very clear the standard they are held to from the boss. And it really shows in their confidence and competence. No issues were too much for them to sort and even if they were busy or clearly thinking/planning, they were readily available for questions or reassurance. Rest of the crew - these people worked tirelessly carrying kit, moving the boat and just generally being around to help. The second your kit was set up and good to go they would be there to take it from your hands and load it to the boat. I only managed to squeeze in two steps holding kit in the entire week. Amazing! I don’t usually write reviews but every single person went above and beyond. I will never forget my experience with Pisces Divers Sodwana. Best service I’ve ever seen in the dive industry. Thank you all and I will be back!

What an amazing crew to do your diving license through. From the booking thank you Naidine for all you assistance in helping us pick the right course for my son to helping with accommodation recommendations. Taj you are an amazing instructor Daniël can not stop talking about how you made him feel like he is one off the crew and I think I can do the diving course now after he has taught me about safety and diving. Thank you again Pisces Team for making this an exceptional experience for my son and helping him and preparing him for his commercial diving license

Incredible experience, Naide was super helpful throughout booking my Open Water qualification, communicating throughout our stay with regards to timings, and overall brilliant at managing comms between us and the rest of the team! Taj was brilliant taking me through all the requirements for my certification - very patient, calm, knowledgeable, and reassuring while making sure it was all fun as well. Rudi was also a pleasure to be around and similarly supportive with skills. Out in the ocean, Lisa as DM was lovely and made everyone feel well informed and in very safe hands- with a bunch of knowledge on the reef life to go along with it! Louis as skipper was also great, also sharing some of his knowledge post-dive when we got back on the boat. Overall, a really lovely, easygoing, and super supportive team, and I couldn’t recommend them more!

We did our Open Water Divers with Pisces and had the most amazing time. Taj was out instructor and she was superb. With her calming presence she made the course stress-free for us and we had a lot of fun together. It was just the two of us in the course so there was lots of room for questions and we felt really taken care of. Pisces is a very professional diving centre which allowed us to feel safe at all time. They have a lot of experience and took us to various diving sites. The coral reefs in Sodwana are just stunning with an abundance of life. We feel privileged that we were diving there and that Pisces took such good care of us.
