    A great experience with Victoria, Manuela and the entire Equinoxe team. Absolutely professional and just amazing. Everyone at the center was kind, helpful and shower you with their beautiful smiles. Unfortunately I am only here for a few days, I could only do 4 dives. Each dive was amazing to say the least, the last dive we got to see a huge sting ray at aquarium dive site. All the best wishes to you guys, hope to see you soon!

    The equipment is in good shape, all employees respect sea creatures (which is rare unfortunately), they are knowledgeable about dive sights. Only thing I think can improve is to make more fun trips. Music, or somehow to relax people, especially less experienced ones. But professional and ethical dive center.

    I'm doing my CMAS open water scuba course with Equinox and am absolutely loving it! The staff are fantastic, they make you feel very safe and take you to some incredible diving spots! There is also tea, coffee and biscuits on the boat incase you get hungry or fancy a drink. The centre is located right on the beach, they supply all the equipment you need and there is a relaxing area upstairs where you can chill out after your dive. I can't think of a better place to go learn diving or even just go for a fun dive. I highly recommend this diving centre!

    My first dives in a few years and they could not have gone better. Emma did an excellent job of bringing me back up to speed and teaching me about the local waters. She had an incredible eye for wildlife, spotting the elusive leaf fish, scorpionfish and a well hidden Moray. She was knowledgeable, fun, and a joy to spend a few days with. Also a huge shout out to ViVi who was a great personality to have around and a huge help! Darrell, our captain, was friendly, safe and attentive. Thank you again, Manuela for an incredible time! If you’re on Mahé make a point to spend a morning or two with this fantastic crew!

    Perfect diving experience. Starting with the arrival, the team makes you feel right at home. Very friendly introduction and onboarding process. Great selection of dive sites with lots of things to discover. After the dive, the team helps to identify all the spotted wildlife. From all my dives on the Seychelles, this might have been the best. Would book again any time.

    I recently completed my advanced open water course at Equinoxe. I have been diving with them for 4 years and highly recommend Manuella and her team of friendly instructors. Exquinoxe has a wonderful friendly atmosphere where you will be treated as a friend and supported to better your skills and experience the beautiful marine life in Seychelles. I bring all of my friends who visit Seychelles and would encourage you all to dive with Equinoxe.

    I had some very nice dives at Equinoxe this summer. The Diving school ist just beautiful and is located directly at the beach of beau vallon. They offer many divesites close to the beach. The team contains many young and dedicated instructors creating a great and friendly atmosphere and an enjoyable positive vibe. Special thanks to Emma who was truly interested in the marine life and gave me a great experience! Thank you hopefully See you again.

    EQUINOXE Diving School is a strong team of experienced, trustworthy, and gentle divers. Accompanied by our own diving guide/instructor/master, we (my girlfriend and I) had ten amazing dives outside the coast of Beau Vallon, Seychelles. We felt safe and the crew paid attention to every little need we had - under water as well as above. Thank you so much to all the members of EQUINOXE for giving us this unforgettable Seychelles experience!

    A first diving experience for me... and most probably the first of a very long series! I had the discovery dive with the kindest and most motivated diving instructor, captain and trainee. Many Thanks the Equinoxe team and to Manuela for her kindness and passion she shares everyday to new underwater adventurers. Jeremie

    Three of us did eight dives each, we've all got a few dozen dives worth of experience. The team here are the most professional, relaxed and enjoyable crewe I've ever been around. They're thorough in doing the checks, explaining the plans and always ready to answer you and help. P.s. At the end of dives 2 and 4 we saw whale shark and all around lots of other incredible sea life including turtles, rays, sharks, big schools of fish

    Best diving school in Seychelles! After a couple of years of not diving, the owner never hesitated to remind me of what I should do in water, calming me! The dive with her and the team is very relaxing, they try to maximize the dive experience, very attentive and careful!! Not to mention that we encountered whale sharks 2 days in a row! Highly recommended!

    I have been at Equinoxe diving center for 3 days and did total of 6 dives, Not only that the price is fair and reasonable comparing to everywhere else in Mahe, the equipment is well maintained, and the crew, Manuela, Darrel, Vivi, Alisa, Shawn, Emma and the others whice I forgot their names are extremely friendly, professional and responsible, they will take care that you'll have the best experience. I saw Sea turtle, White-tip shark, a Whale shark, stingrays and many other creatures! If you are considering which diving center to go to in Mahe and you're looking at this review: Trust me, go to Equinoxe.

    I spend some 10 days on Seychelles in May 2021 and did my second Stage Freediving course in Equinoxe Diving School. It is not the biggest and loudest school on the spot. However, where others show off in size and glamour, Equinoxe excels with instructor performance, personal care and tons of experience. It is not a pure freediving school though. They offer also great tank dives and sometimes combine the two. Leading the school and instructor team is Manuela, a french Navy seal ex Military officer. Her calm and friendly nature inspires confidence and keeps the fun alive. I was able to conquer limits, got lower than I ever thought was possible only holding my breath. As they know the currents and water conditions, we always found the right spot of the day. In such a beautiful environment, every moment is unforgetable. Can't wait to be back. Cheers Chris

    A diving club equipped with new and safety equipment. The team of instructors is pleasant, friendly, instructive and responsible. My partner, who has a diving license, wanted to go through this experience with his 12-year-old daughter, which is her first time. The staff was attentive and patient to any request or concern. Small groups with many instructors instilled a lot of confidence. A highly recommended experience!

    Great diving center located right at the beach. Equipment was new, dive tanks already on the boat and you get to choose according dive sites according to experience and weather conditions. Two dives, one a L`llot (on the picture) and the other at the Aquarium. Low visibility on the first one, but the Aquarium was simply stunning. Good and relaxed divemaster. can safely recommend this dive school for future dives on the west-coast of the island :)

    Greetings from Ethiopia I love my stay in seychelles, and one of my best experience I had was to do diving. Had it not been for wonderful crew of Equinox I would miss the best experience of a life time. The smile of the crew, the explanation, encouragement, teaching and assisting with video and photo documentation to show for my kids is something I would never forget in my life. I strongly recommend Equinoxes seychelles diving school to any one visiting the gorgeous land of seychelles. For me I take my lesson, video and certificates but most of all the amazing memories.

    My 11 year old son had the best experience of his life being introduced both to freediving and diving. Both courses are professional, safe and lots of fun! The teachers are outstanding and he felt very safe during the excursions with the boat. Snorkeling and diving spots are just amazing, we were lucky enough to swim with baby sharks and discover some rare fishes. The whole team is there to assist and is very prepared. We will be back for more! 100% recommended.

    We organized an Seychelles excursion with a group of divers. The plan was made online and we had 5 diving days with the Equinox school. Great experience! Manuela and other members left a great impression on us! Warm energy, high professionalism and easy agreements made our diving and vacation easy and unforgettable. Everything was simple, exactly as we agreed, they made an extraordinary effort to make our stay full of relief and showed us the best of Seychelles underwater. We will repeat such excursions in the future and we are very happy about this friendship and future gatherings!
