About Meyerton Scuba Diving Club
Your gateway to the underwater world in the Vaal Triangle.
Our Story
Registered as a CMAS training facility in October 1992, Meyerton Scuba Diving Club was founded by Jan and Gillian Vorster and has been active ever since. Situated in Meyerton, we are the link between Johannesburg and the rest of the Vaal Triangle, conveniently located closest to the well-known Bass Lake.
We specialize in dive outings, both local and abroad. However, our adventurous spirit often leads us to embark on other activities such as sky-diving, paintball, gliding, paragliding, and other adventures required by our members.
When doing qualification dives, all members are welcome to join us. We host events like the "Polar Bear Weekend" in the middle of winter, regular sea outings, and we organize overseas trips occasionally or on demand.
Safety First
Dive Smarter, Dive Safer
We build safety into every part of the experience: clear briefings, consistent procedures, and a calm, focused approach to every dive. Our CMAS-aligned instruction emphasizes awareness, planning, and skills that become second nature.
Whether you’re training or joining a fun dive, you’ll know the plan, your buddy, and the limits. We treat preparation as part of the adventure because that’s what keeps everyone confident underwater.
How We Do It
What This Looks Like
- Plan-led briefings Depth, time, and turnaround points are clear before you enter the water.
- Disciplined equipment care Checks, maintenance logs, and pre-dive drills are part of every session.
- Skill refreshers on demand Controlled practice keeps confidence high and reduces stress underwater.
- Instructor support From entry level to advanced training, you have guidance at every step.
The Culture
A Club That Feels Like Home
- Socials that connect Regular braais, weekends away, and post-dive meetups.
- Buddy matching We help pair divers for training, fun dives, and progression.
- Planning support Gear advice, logistics help, and trip prep from the group.

Community
Built Around People, Not Just Dives
The best dives happen when you feel supported. Our club culture is friendly, inclusive, and focused on helping divers of all levels grow. From your first open water experience to technical skills, you’ll have a team behind you.
We share stories, plan trips together, and keep the energy fun. It’s not just about diving — it’s about belonging to something exciting and local.
