I've done almost all my PADI qualifications through Dive Action in Cape Town (even though I live in the UK!) Having been there a few times now I feel part of the Dive Action family and it is always such a pleasure to join them on weekend boat dives when I'm in the area. I also recently completed my PADI Rescue Diver course and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dive Action to anyone considering taking a PADI course in Cape Town. My instructor (Louise) was patient and kind, especially as I was very nervous about the course. She took the time to run through the course in detail to prepare me for it, and was so helpful in teaching me the skills required for the course. Her patience, professionalism, and experience are a credit to her and the Dive Shop and I am looking forward to returning to complete my Dive Masters there. Thankyou Louise and the fab team for all your help during my course ☺️
