The BEST Scuba Training venue in South Africa
Bass Lake
About Us
After having been originally started over 30 years ago by Alan Pepper, Bass Lake has become known and loved as the primary open-water dive spot in Gauteng for beginners and experts alike.
Over the years, this 75-hectare estate has grown into a full adventure resort, including open water swimming, kayaking, picnicking, swimming, snorkelling, fishing (seasonal), a world-class 4×4 track and so much more! Alan Pepper has been retained as the general manager at Bass Lake as well as its dedicated 4×4 instructor.
