Pisces is an awesome dive shop with a friendly, fun staff. This was our first cold-water dive and our first time diving in Cape Town, so the team was extra patient and helpful with us. Agyle is an excellent divemaster, and we loved learning about the gorgeous marine life in False Bay! Highly recommend the Kelp Forest Dive for a truly unique experience.

It has been an awesome time with Pisces Divers. We did. shore dives this year and the kelp forest and seal tour last year. Both fantastic! The Dive Center is fantastic with very professional and friendly staff. Mike Nortje and team have created a jewel. Highly recommended, especially for international tourists. You will be spoiled.

The whole team was really nice and did their best to accomodate us also regarding the fact that we had to catch our flight back to Europe the same evening. They packed our lunch for us, which was delicious by the way, and even gave us spoons to take with, since we were in a hurry.
We had a really good time, loved the experience and the team was wonderful.
The only thing which I have to criticise is planning. We were assured we'd be back by the base by 2pm so we wouldn't have to worry about traffic on the way to the airport. We know now that nature doesn't care if you've got a tight schedule. For a few reasons we got back around 3.15 pm and had to rush to the airport. We made it despite hitting traffic. But we think it would be wiser to advise against booking a tour this close to a flight. We only booked because we were assured it wouldn't be a time-issue.
Other than that we really have to thank the team for helping us make sure a bag we forgot in the hurry of getting to the airport got back to us safely.

Super friendly Team from Dive Centre Manager to Dive guides, quality equipment is given when you book the dives. They have a swimming pool in front of the centre in case you need to do courses or a refreshment if you did not dive for long.
I did a 2 dives day trip with a boat on January 2023.
I have been very happy to « play » with the seals on my second dive as this was THE objective for me on diving in Capetown.
Pisces is located on the beach so the meeting point is 9am instead of the 7am as if you book with more city centers as they need to drive you till Simon’s’ Town.
I highly recommend them and thank them for their kindness, welcoming smiles and professionalism.
All the best ! Alexandra (Switzerland)

Always a reliable spot to get in the water with their DM’s! Great entry level shore dives, boat dives with amazing sites! Shop is homey, sells all the bits and bobs you may have forgotten or broken. Hot coffee & Tea, friendly staff always happy to lend a hand. Not to mention a nice meal to follow a lekker dive and complete your adventure! Look forward to being back and completing further dive training to hit the night and wreck dives! Highly recommended, be sure to book ahead as they are a favourite!

I have done tons of dives with Pisces and regularly hire the gear. I have never had an equipment issue. There gear works perfectly. All the staff are super professional, bubbly and fun. The DMs and skippers are all very experienced. I definitely will continue diving with them 🤿

Rude, and only interested in your money.
We were charged almost three times more than what South African divers paid for the same dives on the same boat.
Equipment is in bad shape and the dive center is run by children, with no regard for safety.
Avoid this place at all costs.

Dear Andy,
We are a bit perplexed by your review, as we have no record of any interaction with you, on email, social media or in person in the dive centre. We definitely do not have your name on any of our boat launch schedules.
Please could you give us some more detail so that we can respond to your complaint? You are welcome to send details to info@piscesdivers.co.za
Kind regards,
Pisces Divers Team

I'm planning a few days next week... saw the Seal & Sevengill shark dive listed as available with 12 spaces... How many do you need to run the trip?
Also, do you have transportation options from central Cape Town (Kloof Street area)?

Good Day! We need 4 to run a trip. We saw sharks yesterday and will go again today. The weather is picking up so call us to get the best idea of when will be the most likely time to dive.
