Euro-Divers Club Med La Pointe - Flic en Flac & West Coast
The team at Euro-Divers Club Med La Pointe are some of the most laid-back professionals you’ll meet on Mauritius’s west coast. They run a smooth operation right off the beach, meaning less faffing and more time on the boat. We love how quickly you can get geared up and into the water here, especially for those early morning trips before the heat really kicks in. They’re a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort, so you know the training is solid, whether you’re just starting out or working on advanced certs. For us, the real draw is their access to the sheer number of sites around Flic en Flac. We’ve had some cracking dives exploring the corals, where the sunlight plays through schools of chromis, turning the water into a shimmering light show. Keep an eye out for the turtles that cruise the reef walls – they’re often quite curious. Our favourite tip for diving here is to grab the first boat out; the visibility tends to be at its best then, and you often get the sites to yourselves before the day boats arrive.
