Sandton Scuba

Vince has been a certified open water scuba diver for more than 40 years! He once was very diligent about keeping his certification status and dive log up to date. (Certification lasts a lifetime, but when presented, an active log precludes any additional check-out procedures administered by responsible dive operators on the day of diving.)

But as he has discovered when diving in many places outside the USA such as the Caribbean, Thailand, Costa Rica and Mozambique, he has rarely been asked to present his certification card and log book for inspection. (Australia and the Great Barrier Reef is a notable exception. Like everything else, they care deeply about such things!)

But since we are about to check out the Sardine Run in the Indian Ocean and Vince will be diving with sharks and whales, he figured he'd better make sure his paperwork - and his diving skills - are all in tip top order.

So he's refreshing his skills at Sandton Scuba in Bryanston today. Scuba Sandton is a one-stop dive shop. Along with PADI courses and organized dive trips, you can rent (or buy) equipment for all your diving and snorkeling needs, including underwater cameras!

Sharks and whales? I am happy to just snorkel!
