Dive Passion Mauritius - Flic en Flac & West Coast

The team at Dive Passion Mauritius truly stand out on the west coast, especially if you’re looking for that friendly, experienced vibe you just don't always find. Ben Cadet, the owner, has been diving these waters for decades, and that local knowledge, that genuine passion, really shines through. We love that they focus on smaller groups, meaning you’re not just another diver in a crowded boat. If you appreciate a personal touch and want to feel like you're diving with mates who really know the reefs, this is your place. They’re based right there in Flic en Flac, making access to some of the west’s best sites a breeze. We’ve had some fantastic dives with them on the St. Jacques wreck, where the resident moray eels are practically pets, and the reef sharks cruise by with an almost casual air. Our favourite, though, has to be the Cathedral; diving through those swim-throughs, sunlight filtering down, feels like exploring an ancient, submerged temple. Ben and his crew have a knack for finding the smaller stuff too – nudibranchs we'd have certainly missed, scorpionfish perfectly camouflaged against the coral. They’re PADI 5 Star, so whether you’re learning to blow bubbles or looking to expand your skills, you’re in good hands. Just tell them we sent you.
