    My parents and I snorkeled with Gaëlle and her team and it was an unforgettable experience! She and her husband were friendly and patient with my parents who don’t speak French. The equipment worked well and the spot they took us was beautiful. Merci bcp! Highly recommend :)

    One of the best dive centers in the world. Just Diving made my experience of discovering the reefs in the north west of Mauritius very special. The brand new Mares equipment, the knowledgeable guides that fulfill every wish and the very skilled skipper made my dives here truly amazing. Thanks Gaëlle and team, I'll be back as soon as possible!

    Professional and knowledgeable. Very happy with our 2x scuba experience with Just Diving. We went to Gunner's Quoin and saw some beautiful reef, lion fish and much more. During the day we got some cookies and tea/coffee to keep warm between dives. Recommend!

    Last day of our dive I lost their camera and was told to pay 600 euros for it, which I did. The camera was worth around 100ish euros or less + 50 for the red filter (it was 12 years old). Still, I paid the full price they paid more than 10 years ago. When I came back to France, we shipped them an exact camera with a case and a red filter at their request and they agreed that they will repay all 600 euros I previously paid. They have received both camera and the case around 1st November, however, the red filter did not arrive. We have been exchanging emails for a year now and they still did not return these 600 euros. They would rarely answer our emails with delays of about two months and each time they came up with a new reason why they had not to return the money. It mostly came down to the part where they say they have more important things to do than to deal with us. Now, they are blaming a coronavirus, although they had almost 8 months to return the cash before the pandemic and it was a high season a few months ago, which was not affected by the pandemic. Sadly for me, I am a PhD student who worked a year to pay for the 700 euros diving with their centre. Now, I am 900 euros in minus and after a privately posted review on their FB page, I am threatened with a lawsuit. Although, by most laws, you are not allowed to request the sum that you originally paid as you cannot make any profit from it. Instead, you have to ask for the value on the current market which was around 100 euros. I do not mind paying for what I had lost, but also not a price that was originally paid more than 10 years ago. They did not seem to want to resolve this matter although they depend on their customers as it is a hospitality sector. The owner, Bertrand, did not handle the situation well as he was super angry and mad after the camera was lost. He did not want to go back to look for it and told us not to speak to him. He was yelling for almost an hour in French. Sadly for him, my boyfriend is French so he kind of understood all the offences. When they tried to justify the 600 euros price they asked for, they mentioned and send us the receipt of the 1000 euros waterproof case of another bigger camera they own so we could not even ask for our insurance to cover at least one part of it. It happens, people lose things all the time and they should ensure their valuables are covered by some insurance in case their customer is not as nice as I am and does not pay. Moreover, Bertrand's behaviour was commented on other reviews so make sure to read them before you opt for their centre. For each bad comment, he tried to tell his version of the truth as it can be seen from his comments. In this case, everything can be seen on the FB review where I attached all exchanged emails. I do not recommend them or their diving centre at all as they do not know how to deal with bad or uncomfortable moments and problems, which is crucial as bad things happen all the time and because based on their comments it seems they truly believe that they are doing you a favour, whereas the part where you pay them for a service does not matter. Also, they never offered to send even a small amount of cash just to show some goodwill to resolve the issue. In the end, they cannot live without their customers, but the customers can live without them. There are other diving centres on the same street and I strongly encourage you to find another place if you want to enjoy your time and dive. The diving was so-so, depends who dives with you. The skipper, the lady at the reception and the divemaster Hervin were super nice, but the two owners did not deal with the issue as they should have and I find them to tense to dive with. Also, I did not like how they always rush you in the boat so you are not able to catch your breath for five seconds. Moreover, they do not go out of their way to help you.

    It was our first time diving and we could not have been more lucky! Gaëlle and her team were great, with good communication and thanks to them we really enjoyed the experience. We did the open water certification, and Gaëlle was a very patient teacher, helping us and giving us confidence during all the sives. Plus the diving spots in the north of the island are awesome!

    Well, a great experience with the entire super professional team. We left for 4 dives (for level 2 parents) and 4 baptisms for each of our children who were discovering the activity. For baptisms there's nothing better, it's professional, reassuring, the children loved it and for the parents it's not bad too ;) Concerning the baptisms, short briefing and passage in the swimming pool to get over the apprehension of the equipment and best appreciate the little tour in a natural environment... and what a spot for a baptism!!!! It was great. They came out with the banana. Nothing to say about the explosions. This is very serious. We don't skimp on safety and everything is done to optimize diving. Bertrand will even take 2 blocks to power the end of a dive for overconsumers ;) To not spoil anything, the team is adorable and passes on to us their passion for these preserved places. In short, to summarize, we certainly don't know the other diving clubs, most of which must also be excellent, nevertheless we can assure you that entrusting your diving vacation to Gaëlle, Bertrand and Manu is the assurance of a successful vacation... Beautiful bubbles to you

    Family club where you immediately feel comfortable sharing great dives and good times. As a French federal monitor, I was able to appreciate the rigor necessary for security, not always present in other centers in Mauritius. See you soon with a cake

  • 5/5 Cassandra F. 1 year ago on Google • 22 reviews
    Although language was somewhat of a barrier for the full enjoyment of this experience, the team made sure I had everything I needed to successfully complete four dives off the coast of this beautiful island country. From the excellent Whatsapp coordinating communication prior to my dives, to the enthusiastic assistance provided by Fred during my dives, I had a lovely experience overall. Merci beaucoup for ensuring that I arrived at your establishment in time to participate fully, and for your patience with my language limitations. In addition, I'm still a relatively new diver, so I was grateful for the understanding of my mistakes along the way.

  • 5/5 Daniela M. 4 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Good all round experience with a very knowledgeable team. We are certified divers and were very happy with the way they organized the groups to accommodate us and the photographer in the group. We’d definitely dive with them again!

  • 5/5 Pauline M. 1 month ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    A very nice experience with this club, everything is very well organized! We were supported from start to finish. I was stressed and Gaelle, gentle and patient, was able to reassure me perfectly. We had a great time, thank you Gaelle, Bertrand and Manu!

  • 5/5 Matthias S. 2 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    I made a request at short notice and was able to do 2 dives with an experienced and calm dive instructor the next day. After a 7 year break, I also did a refresher and felt good the whole time. The equipment was in good condition and the dive center was well organized. French and English are spoken. As a precaution, I also watched a refresher video beforehand, as some of the terms in English are difficult. That helped a lot! Conclusion: Good organization, trained staff, good material, fascinating underwater world (Stingray, Lionsfish, Moray Eel, ...) great dive spot (Runners Quoin - Coin de Mire)

  • 5/5 Cuba C. 2 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    I've recently completed my PADI Open Water Certificate with Just Diving (1 pool session and 2 days in the sea with 4 dives). Definitely a recommendation without any restrictions. The diving school has a great vibe! The moment you enter the premises you feel at home thanks to the super friendly and efficient Vanida. The dive training with Gaelle was well structured, according to the principles stipulated by PADIs training principles and also entertaining. Gaelle has a keen sense of how to teach the various students, I always felt safe and well accompanied. The dive sites are fabulous with superb visibility and vivacious maritime life. Go there, whether for dive trainigs or just for recreational diving - it's a superb dive center!

  • 5/5 Jon R. 7 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    My partner and I had an amazing 8 dives with Gaelle and her team. They took us to a really interesting and diverse set of dive sites from wrecks, to reefs and the wall on coine de mire. We were fortunate enough to have some great interactions with turtles, octopus and lion fish. The most amazing moment was when we could hear the whale song of the local sperm whales while we dived. I can't describe how unbelievable it was to hear. I found the whole set up of the dive centre to be very organised and efficient. The team were very focused in safety asking us the right questions about our experience and only letting us go deep until they were comfortable with our experience. While on the boat the team were very good in getting all divers ready to enter the water and quick to support you onto the boat and change the BCD and tank for the next dive. I would highly recommend this professional team to anyone who is looking to dive in Mauritius.

  • 5/5 Ines M. 1 month ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    Very good diving school. Did my PADI level 1. Easy, fun and professional. Would definitely recommend

  • 5/5 Darren T. 6 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Excellent and experienced team. Well organised and very helpful. My wife and I recently had two dives which were fantastic and felt very safe. Was my wife's first real dives since qualifying and they were very understanding and patient. Highly recommended.

    Having level 1, I did my 4 exploration dives with Just Diving and it was great! The team is friendly and professional, the equipment is well maintained and the briefing is always very clear. THANKS !

  • 5/5 brunacoy 1 month ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Very good experience in this center where we passed our Openwater diploma with my 13 year old son. The team is very friendly, professional and available. Thanks to Gaelle for her learning and kindness. I recommend 100%. See you next year during our next stay!! David and Eliott.

  • 5/5 Camille van W. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Great diving school. As a beginner in diving it is good to see the experience level at this diving school, showing a great sense of professionalism while also casual environment. This combination also attracts other divers which whom you can share interesting stories. The staff is very welcoming and proficient in English and French. Also during times where diving was not possible solutions the staff remained very open and flexible for solutions. I am happy to have obtained my PADI open water here, and can recommend the same for others visiting Mauritius.

  • 5/5 Jérôme D. 1 month ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    The Just Diving team is truly wonderful! Full of good humor and skilled professionals who will pass on to you their passion for scuba diving. From initiation to professional training, you'll learn all the techniques and skills you need to fully enjoy diving. What's more, the dive sites are fantastic... I look forward to seeing you again!

  • 5/5 Francois D. 2 years ago on Google
    Gaelle, Bertrand and the whole 'Just Diving' team is very professional, very kind and will make your diving experience perfect! Their equipment is recent and their boat is probably one of the best on the island. Above all, the team puts safety on top! Highly recommended!!

  • 3/5 Sunil U. 9 months ago on Google
    Our experience with just diving was good for my kids. The only thing i would request you to look into is the equipments esp the mask. For me water kept getting into my mask and i had to quit after sometime as my eyes started burning. I guess if the mask was good enough i would have enjoyed too:) Both my kids had a great time and enjoyed thoroughly. Would recommend this centre but be sure if the masks are good enough for you before you venture. The instructors are very patient and good.

  • 5/5 Wioletta B. 10 months ago on Google
    It was an amazing experience. Our instructor was very professional and kind. The atmosphere was great. We decided to do an open water course and we feel like we have gained many useful skills. We could feel satisfaction seeing our progress. We can highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Benjamin A. 10 months ago on Google
    We did our Open Water course with Just Diving and the experience was great! Gaelle and the team made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole process and explained things very well. The dive centre is located right next to the beach making it easy to get from centre to the boat. The atmosphere around the centre is great and the pre-dive briefings are great and in-depth. We loved the experience so much that after receiving our Open Water certification we’ve decided to book 2 more dives with Just Diving. Many thanks to Gaelle, Alison, Evie and the rest of the team! Thanks, Ben and Alexandra

  • 5/5 Pieter de B. 4 years ago on Google
    Still the best dive operation in Mauritius! Dived at two other operators one in the south and one in the west and nothing compared to the great service by Just Diving, you are not just another person they are trying to get in and out of the water as soon as possible. Feels like you are part of the family. Their pricing are very competitive! Looking forward to our next Holiday in Mauritius to go dive the these guys!!

  • 5/5 Maggie M. 8 months ago on Google
    Myself and my husband learned to dive with Gaelle on our honeymoon and it was the most amazing experience. The teachers were all patient and detail oriented with very clear English so we were confident we were safe and well looked after throughout. The sea dives were truly extraordinary - we saw so many different types of coral and fish and a turtle! I couldn't recommend Just Diving more highly!

  • 5/5 Oliver S. 4 years ago on Google
    I had four very nice dives there. The staff was very helpful, friendly, trying to provide a five-star-service 😁 The dive spots were all very close, no long boat trips. I’m interested in all the smaller things you can see in the sea and they showed me a lot of them. I really recommend to try this dive company!

  • 4/5 Stephen H. 4 years ago on Google
    I was there a few years ago so the service might have changed since then. The dives were incredible, the staff however was nice enough. They were not particularly helpful or willing to go out of their way for you, especially the dive masters. They were less willing to help out on the boat. Overall all though it was a good experience.

  • 5/5 Ryan Q. 3 years ago on Google
    Such an amazing experience, well trained, friendly, professional staff, clean and well maintained equipment, 5 star experience from start to finish. Would highly recommend for anyone who’s keen to experience the beauty of the ocean in a safe and fun way.

  • 5/5 Sarah S. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely loved my experience with Just Diving. Totally recommend them! Gaëlle was an amazing instructor! She got us hooked on scuba diving for sure ! 🤿🤩👌

  • 5/5 dara b. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommended! The team is super nice and pro! My kids (15&12 yr old) and I had our scuba diving initiation there, and it was awesome. I also passed my Padi open water with them.Good materials & great people!

  • 5/5 Alexandra R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience with Gaelle, Bertrand and the team! I was diving with Justdiving every day for eight days and can only recommend it! The organisation is very professional and pleasant. There is a large selection of dive sites and individual preferences (wreck, turtles etc) are also taken into account when choosing. On the boat everything (tanks closed/open, weights etc) is well controlled and everyone is very attentive which ensures safe and relaxed diving. We saw a lot thanks to the great and experienced guides. We especially liked the family atmosphere in the dive centre and will gladly come again.

  • 5/5 mick h. 2 years ago on Google
    Great dive centre - very organized, good equipment, great boat! Julie guided my 13yo son (third OW dive) and myself on two memorable and very different dives. Highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Russel S. 2 years ago on Google
    Just Diving Mauritius made our holiday absolutely amazing. The team is professional, friendly and hugely knowledgeable. Gaëlle, Bertrand, Manuelito, Fred and Vanida are some of the most awesome people I have met in all my diving experiences since I got my first certification in 1986. They really went beyond expectations to ensure that we had incredible dives even when the weather was not playing it's part. The Just Diving boat is so well designed for daily scuba trips. It is incredibly spacious and easy to get on and off. All gear is well secured and every item has it's storage space. Bertrand is not only a superb diving instructor, but also a master skipper, and always ready to lend a hand as you climb back onto the boat. He is really a gentleman of esteem quality. Safety is always the priority and Gaëlle was particularly patient with my girlfriend who had some issues equalizing during descent. The dive sites we explored with Just Diving were fantastic and it is wonderful to see the rejuvenation of the corals. Fred is very knowledgeable about all the wonderful species of reef dwellers and makes the diviving so interesting by pointing out the weird and wonderful. The dive centre is well situated across the road from the beach from which we launched. The facilities at the dive centre are well organized for washing and rinsing gear after dives with proper hangings spaces for drying all items of gear. There is also a shower and changing room. A extra special thank you for collecting us and dropping us off at our hotel. Just diving is so much more than just diving. If you are planning any scuba excursions while in the North of Mauritius this is definitely the company to choose.

  • 5/5 Jordan M. 2 years ago on Google
    A fantastic dive school, easy to plan, thoughtful and very patient. They speak brilliant English and took us on two brilliant dives! Thank you to the whole team there.

  • 5/5 Alban F. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing time spent with Gaëlle and Bertrand. This is a really good structure I highly recommend. Being an experienced diver, I can be very picky, but JustDiving ticked all the boxes: safety, fun and experience. Furthermore, they are really caring about their customer, they make sure to make you discover the area, and never bring you twice to the same site (unless you want to!!), and their boat is quite comfy :-)

  • 5/5 Fernanda C. 1 year ago on Google
    I did my PADI Open Water Diver course with Just Diving and had a really nice experience! I didn’t plan to do it too much in advance but they were flexible and managed to fit me in, optimising the days I had in the area. The staff was friendly and helpful and the instructor was very patient and reassuring. They also have the benefit of being close to some beautiful dive sites and I feel privileged to have seen such beautiful things on my first 4 dives! I had a lot of fun and, if in Mauritius again, would definitely go back for some more dives with them.

  • 5/5 Conor B. 1 year ago on Google
    Did a couple of dive's with the Just Diving team and can say some of the best couple of dives I've done! Gaëlle & the team are completely professional, from the brief right through to the dive and to wrapping up at the dive centre. The dives themselves were incredible, lots of marine life and the team were constantly pointing out things to look at and ensuring you're all OK on the dive. Highly recommend Just Diving if you're ever in Mauritius!

  • 5/5 Mike Y. 1 year ago on Google
    We tried the snorkeling tour and it was awesome. The facilites, the boat, the equipment that was provided was nothing less than top class. Our guide was awesome as he gave us a briefing of the type of fish we could potentially see and attracted fish close to the boat with food. We were served coffee on board and our guide went the extra mile to lend us extra gear as we are not very good swimmers. The organisation, facilities and the overall tour was incredible. I highly recommend you do the scuba or snorkeling tour. You will not be dissapointed.

  • 5/5 Maxwell F. 2 years ago on Google
    Thank you to all the team for all the great diving over the past two weeks! Just Diving provide a excellent service in both French and English to meet all diving needs. Dives are planned and explained so that all have a SAFE and enjoyable time. The dive boat, is an actual dive boat that is kept in great condition. I dived as planned and my daughter did her first experience and then completed Open Water, course was conducted properly and all details explained and practiced Thanks again to you all!

  • 5/5 Florian S. 5 years ago on Google
    I did my second "Try Scuba" here and was blessed to do it at such a nice diving school. All the employees were incredibly nice and helpful. A couple of days later I wanted to go for another dive because I was so caught by the amazing experience, but unfortunately the owners went to holiday :( Hopefully I have the opportunity to come back one day and go for another dive with them :) Probably with a diving licence, as they really generated my new found excitement and enthusiasm for diving!

  • 5/5 Thanush v. 1 year ago on Google
    Best diving center in Mauritius. Amazingly talented trainers and super friendly staffs. They were even kind enough to take us for whale watching after our dives. I really enjoyed doing my basic and advanced padi open water course with them 💯

  • 5/5 Happy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool diving school with motivated staff. Really easy and practical for all sorts of organization. Communication overall really easy. Sometimes the communication felt a bit short. Equipment was really well and the trips were always comfortable.

  • 5/5 Kevin c. 2 years ago on Google
    Gaelle and her team are excellent. Very patient and thorough whilst teaching. Double checks everything giving everyone confidence. You can see diving is Gaelle's passion, if you want an experienced dive guide/instructor look no further.

  • 5/5 Frederique T. 2 years ago on Google
    Gaëlle was my teacher today to certify my Nitrox training. They were a lovely team. Warm welcome. Gaëlle walked me through patiently through the steps of this qualification and took me to two wonderful spots of Mauritius to dive. What a professional and lovely person. Looking forward to returning there.

  • 5/5 nilesh253 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful team and people. Me and my wife had no swimming experience, but 'Just diving' team made our first dive surreal. They not made sure the dive was completed but also it was remembered for a long time. Definitely made me fall in love with scuba dive. Would surely love to come back and dive with you.

  • 5/5 Tuomas S. 1 year ago on Google
    We did 8 great dives with Just Diving, including our AOWD course. From the moment we walked in the dive center everyone there was friendly and accommodating, for example letting us book extra dives at the last minute. They know the best dive sites in the north well, showing us beautiful reefs and a nice wreck. It's a small team of amazing people, whose friendly attitudes made sure that we had a great time both in the water and on the boat in between dives :) Merci beaucoup, I'll definitely dive with you again when I return to beautiful Mauritius!

  • 5/5 Simon M. 4 years ago on Google
    The Family who owns this dive center is very friendly and has very good knowledge of the conditions and dive spots. The prices and the equiptment are good. Staff is also very kind and welcoming. As a divemaster i can recommend this dive center!
