Boat Dives take place from Hobie Beach and are guided by Pro Dive professional dive guides. Most of the deep dives are situated outside the Bay and are approximately a 45 minute boat ride from the beach.
The Eastern Cape is unique in that there is an abundance of beautiful soft, colourful corals on all our reefs due to the temperate, nutrient rich waters. The reef structures are also characterised by steep walls, gullies and drop offs making for exciting diving. You are bound to be amazed by the colourful soft coral, a variety of fish including, nudibranchs, shysharks, rays and the well known local resident Ragged Tooth Shark.

POPULAR DEEP DIVE SITES:
Riy Banks
Depth: 15-30m+ Qualification: Advanced An extensive reef system situated 20km from Hobie Beach, the boat trip is often rewarded by penguin, dolphin and whale sightings. Spectacular drop-offs and walls characterise this popular deep site. Due to its location, one is never sure of the conditions and what one might see, however, we often experience excellent visibility making for a magnificent dive. Schools of game fish and a vibrant reef await the adventurous diver.
Gasmic Reef
Depth: 16-28m Qualification: Advanced Gasmic Reef is situated on the wild side and is characterised by a narrow gorge made up of dramatic walls covered in cream tipped Noble corals, soft corals and teeming with fish life. The elusive horse fish is often spotter on this reef. A breath-taking dive!
Thunderbolt
Depth: 15-30m Qualification: Advanced Thunderbolt reef (also on the wildside) has dramatic topography with huge boulders, deep gullies and drop-offs. Hard and soft corals are abundant and large black & white basket stars are found draped on sea fans, arms outstretched.

One of m sons and my best dives in the Bay. Viz was 10m+ most of the dive. Nudis, pyjama sharks, musel crackers etc. One nice 2.5m raggy swam right passed me. Johann - and the team - as always, were really great and ever helpful.

The Sardine Run with ProDive was one of the best events in my live, but the very best at water. First, we saw Orcas and then about 100 hunting Dolphins and followed them for hours. We tried to see the Dolphins in the water, but that was not so easy because of the low visibility. Thank you very much Louis it was great Martin
