Our whole scuba experience with Just Africa Scuba was the absolute best!

I was incredibly nervous initially, and Marius constantly put as at ease and was so patient which made everything so much easier.

Would highly recommend using Marius and his team for your scuba courses. They are professional, patient and highly skilled which
truly added to our experience! Thank you again, to Just Africa for a great time! 🤿

I can confidently say that this was one of THE MOST AMAZING experiences ever!

Such a fun and professional team that goes the extra mile for their clients and always wants nothing but the best for each individual.
It was such a privilege to learn how to be an open water diver with a team that has a passion and love for the sea and its creatures.
I 100% recommended you take your first breath underwater with JUST SCUBA!

Facebook Review
Just Africa Scuba is the epitome of a dive centre.

They accommodated my, very demanding, schedule and got me from an advanced diver to a dive master, with Four specialties,
within two months. The expertise combined with an actual passion that the crew have, exceeds any other centre I have dove with.
Just Africa Scuba went over and above what they were required or expected on the daily, including and not limited to a fully stocked
Red Bull fridge and an eagerness to match. I can’t wait to go back to Gordon’s Bay for this under-the-radar gem of a dive centre and
add to the 40+ dives I have already done with them!!
If it wasn’t clear enough, a very high recommendation goes out to Just Africa Scuba!!

I loved being part of the Just Africa Scuba family for a day

I reached out to Just Africa Scuba very spontaneously via WhatsApp to join them for a dive next morning. They got back to me
very quickly and Mari was of great help figuring out the details as well as the gear on the phone. She nailed everything and I was
very happy to have her as my dive guide/buddy during the dive. Thanks again Mari :)

If you are in the Cape Town area and interested in diving, reach out to them, I can highly recommend it.
I will certainly do so when I am back in Capetown!

Very pleasant experience with friendly and very professional people.

Schalk completed his PADI open water course very quickly and comfortably and I did my PADI refresher.
We will definitely go diving with Marius and his team regularly in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the age limits?
In most regions, the minimum age is 10 years old, however in some areas, local law may require a higher minimum age limit. Young participants need the approval and support of their parent or guardian. There is no upper age limit. To dive, you must be in good overall health, particularly your respiratory and circulatory systems. Mentally, you need a mature attitude, good judgement and the self-discipline to follow diving guidelines.
What about my ears?
Your ears will not be a problem, assuming you have no irregularities in your ears and sinuses. The discomfort is the normal effect of water pressure pressing on your eardrums. Fortunately, our bodies are designed to adjust to pressure changes in our surroundings – you just need to learn how. If you have no difficulties adjusting to air pressure when flying, you'll most likely experience no problems learning to adjust to water pressure while diving.
I'm not a great swimmer?
You certainly don't have to be a good swimmer. As long as you can stay afloat and have basic swimming abilities - it doesn't matter if this is a slow doggy paddle. Your PADI Instructor will assess this.
Is diving risky?
Diving does present some inherent risks. You can reduce your chances of having problems while diving by following basic safety rules and learning simple skills. Your dive professional takes precautions, uses experience and exercises good judgement to help keep you as safe as possible. People dive safely every day. However, any time people are in the water and are breathing compressed gas underwater, there is the potential for problems to occur.
