Unforgettable Scuba Adventure with Dive Team Cape Town - Unforgettable Scuba Adventure with Dive Team Cape Town
Rating: 5/5 stars
My two sons (ages 13 and 11) and I had an incredible scuba diving experience with Dive Team Cape Town, booked through Viator. I hold a PADI Open Water certification, but my boys don’t yet have theirs. This dive stood out as a memorable family adventure. It was their second dive ever, following their first in the Maldives. Dive master Kobus made it an exceptional follow-up!
The highlight was encountering a massive short-tailed stingray, an awe-inspiring moment that left us all amazed underwater. Cape Town’s marine life is truly unique, and Kobus ensured we experienced it fully. He also captured amazing GoPro footage of our dive, perfectly recording the stingray and other highlights. After the trip, he promptly sent us the video links via WhatsApp, a fantastic bonus that let us relive the experience!
I was especially impressed by how well the instructors managed my younger son. About seven minutes into the dive, my 11-year-old felt uncomfortable in the cold water and wanted to stop. I was ready to return with him, but Kobus swiftly arranged for the assistant instructor to stay back, calmly reassuring him. This allowed me to continue diving with my older son. That care and flexibility turned a potential letdown into a win for everyone. My 11-year-old felt supported, and I didn’t have to cut my dive short or end my 13-year-old’s adventure early.
The entire experience was seamless, from booking through Viator to Korbus communicating clearly and promptly via WhatsApp beforehand. The Dive Team was professional, friendly, and passionate about their work. They kept us feeling safe and excited the whole time, which is crucial for new divers like my boys.
If you’re thinking about scuba diving in Cape Town, I highly recommend Dive Team, especially with Kobus leading the way! They handled everything with skill and warmth, and the GoPro footage was the perfect touch. We’ll definitely return for more underwater adventures with them. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

Fantastic way to try Scuba for the First Time - This was my first time doing anything like scuba diving so I was a bit nervous and didn't know what to expect. Kobus was a fantastic instructor and put you at ease. The location was also brilliant for seeing marine life and I'd 100% do it again!

Best Discover Scuba Dive experience we could imagine - My wife and I did the discover scuba dive experience with Kobus in Long beach in Simon’s Town. He made us feel at ease with the gear and what we were doing, we went 6 meters deep and practised the basic skills needed for this experience. He was very patient with us as it is really really hard work to deal with to inexperience people under water and he did it the best i could imagine. I will definitively recomment him to any scuba divers or anybody who wants to try the experience coming to Cape Town! Thank you so much!

Great experience - We had a wonderful scuba diving experience with Kobus. He was very attentive and precise with his instructions. We were able to see some pajama sharks and other fish. Kobus also gave us a wonderful guided tour on way back Cape Town. We definitely recommend this experience.
