Our Story

In 2001, after many years of experience in the scuba diving industry, René Coetzee created C-Quest Diving Safaris, the trusted scuba travel “kid” on the block, which today is better and stronger than ever before. René built the business on the motto: “We educate, we experience, we explore” thereby creating a safe space for new divers or divers in need of a scuba diving refresher/review so that they can once again feel confident in their abilities whilst appreciating nature at the same time.

Building the business model on this motto attracted hundreds of divers (young and old alike), private dive schools, families and business owners who all wanted to experience something extraordinary. Their travels took them to magical dive sites that they did not know existed, where they were able to experience different cultures, and unique culinary favourites.

Today, C-Quest Diving Safaris has grown into a tour operator that designs even more extraordinary scuba tours for groups, dive centres, families and also for those divers who travel in buddy pairs. Our scuba tours are designed with Mark Twain’s words in mind: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you did not do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour and catch the trade winds in your sail”.

Though our scuba travel itineraries are designed with the ultimate underwater experiences in mind, the top-side experiences are impressive too. These itineraries are custom-designed according to each group of individual traveller’s requests and are thoroughly briefed before departing from the client’s home soil.

With the need to travel and explore the underwater world, even in the face of a difficult economy, C-Quest Diving Safaris is her to create a scuba travel package like you have never experienced before. All of our itineraries are designed to accommodate prices that divers in general can afford while ensuring an upmarket travel experience.
Since we hold good relationships with our foreign suppliers, we are able to keep our holding prices steady.
