From the Great Barrier Reef to Cape Point
Ethan trained as a PADI Dive Instructor at Divers Den on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, then brought those skills home to the cold, wild and wonderful waters of Cape Town.
His approach is simple: a deep love for the ocean, a passion for sustainable spearfishing and a fanatical focus on safety. Ethan and his small crew don’t try to compete with the big dive shops. They do something different: personalised adventures for families and friends who want to feel the ocean, not just tick it off.
Qualified, local and ocean obsessed
World-class training, deep local knowledge and a calm, safety-first approach on every trip.
- PADI Dive Instructor, trained at Divers Den on the Great Barrier Reef
- PADI Advanced Freediver
- Experienced, sustainable spearfisher
- Based in Simon's Town, diving False Bay and Cape Point
Safety is non-negotiable
Thorough briefings, conservative plans and the confidence to change course when conditions call for it. The ocean will still be there tomorrow.
Personal, never generic
We meet you where you are, whether that is your first breath underwater or your hundredth dive, and design the day around your crew.
Sustainable by nature
Ethan knows False Bay’s catch limits, size rules and protected areas inside out. We spearfish selectively, take only what we will eat and dive with zero impact, so these waters stay wild.
Moments worth keeping
We film your underwater experience and share it with you at no extra cost. Your story, captured.
