Planet Scuba’s aim is to put the pleasure back into diving, by making diving as effortless as possible. No gear to carry, or boats to load! You and your equipment are transported to and from the beach, your gear is washed by our staff, and cylinders filled ready for the next dive.
Emphasis is placed on diving safety.

Planet Scuba offers diving excursions to multiple reefs that teem with marine life. Visit Bass City for encounters with the friendly resident Potato Bass… or Pinnacles for our more advanced divers, for adrenalin-filled encounters with Hammerhead and Zambezi sharks. Don’t forget your snorkels as dolphins or whale sharks might also be in the vicinity. With so many other reefs to explore, we can assure you of a unique diving experience!
