I've had the pleasure diving with the team at Sunset Diving and it has been one of the highlights of my trip! I did my first two dives with Jeff, a very knowledgeable, professional and fun instructor, and he certainly delivered!
On my second trip, i brought my cousin along and as an inexperienced diver, i knew she would be taken care of! Annais did a fantastic job, from the briefings to the end of the dives, reassuring her and making her feel comfortable so that she could enjoy her dives.
My third trip was a cool/cruisy one... 2 dives, good conditions, plenty to see and all smile on deck! Simply a great day. After the dives, I got the chance to hangout with Shane and Annais at the diving centre, exchanging a few cool diving stories, and also booked 4 more dives before heading back to Australia.
Sunset Diving has a 5 stars crew and i would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves diving!

We did 12 dives with Lindsay and his team, including two as part of the SSI Wreck diving specialty course. During those 12 dives, we got to see many different dive sites with great visibility and rich marine life, including corals, turtles, octopus, rays, and plenty of colorful fish.
During the wreck specialty course, we visited the Silver Star and El Djabeda wrecks, both very beautiful and interesting wrecks. However, apart from the theory (e-learning), the course didn't include a lot of new knowledge/skills, especially in practice during the dives. Another time we would probably either only do fun dives on the wrecks, or continue with the SSI Advanced Wreck diving course afterwards, or instead do the PADI Wreck diving specialty course.
At first, it was a bit difficult for us to feel included in the group because they mostly spoke French with other divers and Creole among themselves, both of which are languages we don't speak. But once we got to know each other a bit better after a few dives, the 'diving family atmosphere' started to develop and we felt more 'at home'. In any case, the whole team of Sunset Diving was always kind and helpful.
The equipment is in great condition and well taken care of. Safety is the top priority of the whole team. During a medical emergency of another diving school, the Sunset Diving team was the only other dive boat around which carried emergency oxygen and was therefore able to assist them immediately.
Thank you Lindsay and the whole team for a great experience!

FANTASTIC. AWESOME EXPERIENCE.
1st diving experience for me, the supervision was perfect with a friendly, relaxed, but nevertheless very professional team.
What a spectacle, we were amazed. I had a lot of trouble balancing my ears, I had pain, I saw myself having to give up. This was without counting on the kindness and patience of one of the instructors, thanks to whom I was able to do the second dive to 12m, even arriving dead last at the bottom. May he be infinitely thanked. Great memories captured on video with my wife who walked around like a fish in water.
We highly recommend Sunset Diving and its superb team.
Thanks again.

My recent scuba diving adventure was elevated to an extraordinary level thanks to Paul, undoubtedly the best dive master I’ve ever had the pleasure of diving with. His expertise, attention to detail, and unparalleled ability to make everyone feel at ease underwater truly sets him apart. Paul not only ensured our safety at all times but also went out of his way to point out marine life that we would have otherwise missed, enriching our diving experience immensely. His passion for diving and the marine environment is infectious, making every moment underwater memorable. If you’re looking for a top-notch dive experience, Paul is your go-to. Highly recommended!

Great diving operator. Well organised, super skilled and very welcoming. We had Shane as a guide/instructor, who kept everything light and fun while also patiently managing quite a big group of divers and making sure everyone was safe and happy. We would definitely book again and can only recommend!

My husband and I went diving for one morning and Lindsay was such an incredible teacher that I ended up deciding to get my SSI Open Water certification with Sunset Diving! Lindsay was very good at explaining the skills, technique, and theory behind everything we were going to do before starting the dives. I felt very safe with him as a teacher. We saw beautiful fish, coral, and other sea creatures at several different sites around Mauritius! 10/10 would recommend going to Sunset Diving!

We did four dives with Sunset Divers Grand Baie and were thrilled. From the first moment we felt very comfortable. The crew was sweet, caring and very well organized. The equipment was in top condition, most of it seemed to be brand new. We only dived in small groups, the boats were well equipped and there were great, detailed breefings before the dives. Our guide Jeff was great and was very good at assessing the divers. Since we are experienced divers, he let us dive relatively independently without making us feel neglected or unsafe. The dives in Coin de Mire were breathtakingly beautiful! A total recommendation from us and shout out too Mauritian Lukaku (Shane), his cool swim shorts and the whole crew of Sunset Divers.

My son and I signed up for an open water certification. It was a great experience, right from the initial contact until the end when we qualified. The staff were brilliant, each one clearly confident and comfortable in their roles and able quickly to sort out the morning rush and get the dives going. It makes a huge difference when there’s is no grumpiness and the enthusiasm really makes one feel included and part of the day’s adventure. Our “coach”, Annais, was a great teacher with her calm and clearly knowledgeable approach. Everything was explained and demonstrated and so learning was that much easier, and so much fun. When your students are 18 years and 59 years respectively, it could be tricky. Annais handled us like a pro. Highly recommended.

Excellent welcome, for making appointments and on the day of the Baptism, briefing on the progress of the dives and discovery of the equipment, then equipment and passage in the swimming pool,
Departure on the boat, there were only 3 people diving (2 autonomous divers and me for the baptism), 5 people having not shown up. 1st magical dive, lots of life in the lagoon, I had the chance to see a group of whip rays (apparently it's very rare), stingrays, moray eels and lots of fish. Around 30mins for this dive.
We change site for the 2nd dive and there again a lot of things to see despite average visibility according to the instructors, but OK for me, for a first (plus I'm myopic). many different fish from the 1st site, corals.
Another good 30 minutes of diving, which pass very quickly. Return to the center, cleaning of equipment, shower and graduation.
A big thank you to Jeff with whom I had a great time, a really nice and relaxed team, I will definitely come back to Mauritius and I will without a doubt return to Sunset Diving

The team is really great.
Thanks to Shane for taking care to explain everything to us, you're great!
To avoid being surprised at the price (the site prices do not correspond) take care to find out beforehand!

Bonjour Mathieu,
merci beaucoup pour votre élogieux commentaire, nous faisons de notre mieux pour satisfaire nos plongeurs. Je me permet de vous reprendre sur les prix, car tout nos prix sont a jour sur notre site et nous ne facturons aucunement d'autres prix affichés sur notre site. il y a les safaris trou aux biches et coin de mire avec un supplément pour l'essence car ces sites sont bien plus éloignés mais cela est inscrit sur notre site, rubrique Safaris. A très bientot et merci encore

Bonjour
À partir de quel âge les enfants peuvent faire un baptême de plongée ?
Faut il un certificat médical ?
Merci !

Bonsoir, les enfants peuvent plongée à partir de 8 ans, pas besoin de certificat médical, il faudra par contre remplir un questionnaire de santé signé pas un des parents. A très bientôt

My wife and I have done a few DSDs and are keen to get our open water certification. How long will take to do the open water certification with you?
Considering that we are visiting Mauritius with our 4 yr old son, what options can you provide to my wife and I as my little guy will need to be with us ?
Can we do pre-work or maybe online exams for theory?
Appreciate if you can share your email address as well so that we can discuss further ?
