About Pro Dive
We teach people how to Scuba Dive, help you Train for a Diving Career & take people on Diving Adventures around the world.
Pro Dive is a PADI 5 Star Career Development Centre and we offer a wide range of underwater programs for the whole family from beginner to instructor courses, all conducted by highly qualified instructors.

The company was started over 24 years ago by Louis and Michelle van Aardt who had a passion for diving and travel. Over the years they have grown Pro Dive from a small outlet known as the “Red Windmill” on the Port Elizabeth beach front, into the trusted and quality world-class brand that it is today. It was a combination of the love of diving, the ocean, working with people, travel & a passion for conservation that inspired them on their journey.
The facility includes a purpose built heated training pool, lecture rooms, showers, coffee shop, offices, fully stocked show room, service centre & travel office to cater for all your diving requirements.
