Dive Spirit Mauritius

Flic en Flac & West Coast, Mauritius

The team at Dive Spirit Mauritius just gets it. Based out of Flic en Flac, they’re one of our top picks for diving the island’s west coast, particularly if you’re looking to get certified or progress your PADI training. We love how relaxed the vibe is, yet everything runs like clockwork, making for easy diving whether you’re jumping in for a single fun dive or spending a week on a course. They’re especially good at matching divers to sites. Tell them what you’re hoping to see, and they’ll suggest the right spot from the many options nearby. We’ve had some fantastic dives with them on the various wrecks around, like the Tug II, where we often spot schooling snappers drifting in the current, and sometimes even a stonefish camouflaged on the deck. Visibility in this region tends to be consistently good, often pushing 20 metres, and the water is warm, usually around 26-28°C, which always helps. Our favourite time to dive with them is usually early morning, before the boat traffic picks up, when the light is beautiful and the reef is just waking up. They operate with smaller groups too, which means less time waiting around and more time underwater.
