Jacks Dive Chest - A New Standard for Commercial Diving in South Africa

We are proud to announce that Jacks Dive Chest Commercial Dive Training Academy has achieved a historic milestone for the South African diving industry. A couple of months ago, we successfully passed an Equipment Audit by an International Organization in February, and just a day ago, we passed our IDSA (International Diving Schools Association) audit. This makes Jacks Dive Chest the first Dive School in South Africa to be accredited through both of these prestigious international bodies.

This incredible achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering hard work, dedication, and professionalism of our entire team at Jack's Dive Chest. Thank you to all our staff members and instructors for your commitment to excellence and for helping us set a new standard for commercial diver training in the country.
