We were stopping at fishermans cove so just a 10min walk down the beach is all it took for me. (my wife doesn't dive) i called in to book the 6 dive package over 3 days (2 dives on the morning). Booking in was easy and the meeting time was pretty clear. I have my Aow and have 96 dives. The gear was All well kept and in decent condition. Just a short stroll down the beach to the boat and off we went. Professional dive breafing and plan of action before each dive. The boat wasn't too packed which was nice also. All my 6 dives were excellent and saw sum great stuff like green and hawksbill turtles, reef sharks, eagle rays and even a dolphin passed through. Excellent thanks you

We had a fantastic dive - the best of our 5 dives in the Seychelles at Treasure Reef. Our dive leader, Yannik I believe, was helpful, in control of his group and found resting turtles and many interesting fish. We really enjoyed our dive and recommend the company.

We joined Dive Seychelles for two dive trips, each visiting two dive sites. Right from the get-go we were made to feel really comfortable and it was clear that we were in safe hands. Sabrina, Michael and the rest of the crew are knowledgable, experienced and competent and they run a top-notch operation. The dives were amazing: In addition to the colourful array of reef fish we also saw turtles, sharks and rays. I highly recommend Dive Seychelles and cannot wait to return!!

I enjoyed my dives with these guys and would probably use them again...
However, they will add 11% to your bill if you pay by card. This is because they quote their prices in EUR then convert to Seychelles Rupees when you pay. When they do this conversion, they slap on an ~11% conversion fee. They say this is because the bank charges them this conversion rate... I’m not an expert on Seychelles banking, but i don’t see why they need to convert anything if I’m in Seychelles and paying in Seychelles Rupees. This is of course before your own bank in your home country charges you an additional fee for paying in a foreign currency.
They did say I could pay in EUR cash without the additional fee... but do people seriously carry that much cash around with them these days?
After a good morning of diving, I’m left with a bitter memory of this operation.

We had a bad experience with Seychelles Underwater Centre. We were two advanced divers and one that started an open water diving course. Sabrina at the reception told us we can dive and have the course there, but she didn't mention they only have one boat, which meant we had to dive in the same place the course was happening, which is not close the best spots.
We ended up paying a lot of money for a dive to a poor location, instead of her being honest with us.

I booked 1 month in advance with this shop. When I checked in on October 27th, my dives were cancelled because "the boat was reserved by a private party". Evidently making a reservation means nothing to this shop. Only money. Too appease me, I was promised 2 days of 2 dives in the afternoon. Instead I got 1 bad dive each day. Sites were poor with dead coral and the guide aborted each dive after 30 minutes when they could have easily been 60. I was promised some good morning dives on my last day. Instead I got the usual lack of fish and dead coral. Once again the dive was aborted after 30 minutes because the rookie divers were panicking due to current. The shop takes snorkelers, students, and beginning divers all on the same trip, so I doubt you would ever see any decent sites. Finally, they won't even take credit cards! I had to do an international wire transfer to pay them which cost me $50 for 3 dives. Venessa the manager, has no idea how to run this shop. There are lots of shops on Beau Vallon and all are in walking distance of the hotels. Do your research if you are experienced and you should definitely be able to find a better shop

Did 4 dives ( 2 X morning 2 tank dives)
Coral was dissappointing ( bleached from hot water temps the year before), but fish were good. especially liked the Marine Park dives and 2 barges wreck dive. They picked us up from our hotel - Sunset Beach Hotel... and transported us to the dive center every morning. Staff was very friendly and competent, very pleasant.

We were a family of four our first ever snorkelling experience . The team here was excellent & our snorkel instructors Vishwa & Debbie were excellent. My husband and girls after jumping in got very comfortable, I kept struggling to b able to breathe with the snorkel equipment but Vishwa stayed with me thru out so that I don’t panic and infact he kept encouraging me to look down and see the beautiful marine life. I would give 10/10 to the entire team and there behaviour.

I had the pleasure of diving with Dive Seychelles Underwater Centre during my 9 day visit to Seychelles.
I really had a lot of fun. I had 8 dives with them.
Great Guys!!
The Dive Centre is nice, clean, simple, straight forward, very well organised. The dive boat is very good, comfortable. Divesites are great!
I met Sabrina (Manager), Dive Guides: Michael, Genario, Skippers: Jannik, Daniel. All of them are super fun and lovely.
When I go back to visit Seychelles, this is the Dive Centre I will be diving with always.

Lovely diving’s with range of sites within 20mins boat ride. 3 or 3 small wreck sites with lots of fish, watch for numerous stonefish and lionfish. Nice reef dives with plenty of juveniles especially in the Baie Ternay marine park reserve. Small white tip sharks, turtles, eagle, porcupine and stung rays and even a couple of dolphin on one safety stop.
They do mix abilities so can cut some dives short but most were 50mins. Best to do the morning x2 as vis often better and they do the deeper first (of course!) take a snack as they only provide tea / coffee and water.
Good fun crew, lots of laughs.

Good morning! My husband, 11 year old daughter, and I are planning to visit Seychelles August 21-25. Were all qualified (she’s a Jr. scuba diver). How far in advance should we book? How far away are the dive sites? We may stay at the meridian —- is there transportation to the dock —- or do we depart close from the hotel?? Thank you!!

Hi there
We literally booked the day we arrived and dove the next day. I would send them an email so you get the preferred rates though. From the meridien they could do a pick up I believe but it is a 10-15 minute walk along the beach which is lovely first thing in the morning! We just walked there and back and left our kit at the centre while diving with them. Enjoy!!

We are a group of five in a family in the age group of 11yrs to 60 yrs
Want to do snorkeling. What will be the cost for short duration 15 min to 30 min
Written May 22, 2018
Not advise with this dive Center. Snorkelers travel in boat with divers. It’s at least 1.5 hours and limited availability with priority to divers. Better to check boat hires around right end of Bel Vallon beach.
