About Us
Our Story
Will You Be Our Buddy?
As crystals are formed by the careful arrangement of different atoms and molecules, so has Crystal Divers Mauritius been founded and created to serve as a brilliantly unique, multi-faceted scuba diving centre.
Our dream is to create connections and share our passion and experiences with scuba divers all over the world.
Our focus is providing superior service and unrivalled diver training.
Our vision is to put one of the most beautiful jewels of the Indian Ocean on the scuba diving map, and to celebrate all that the island of Mauritius, and we as Crystal Divers Mauritius, have to offer.
Our Centre
Like our training approach, we offer a seamless course progression across our facilities.
We have several open plan classroom spaces and break out areas for independent study, Instructor-led, group and team work and one-to-one time with our Course Directors and experienced Instructors
Our resort has a purpose built training pool, available for use by all of our students.
We are one of two centres on the island to have been awarded the PADI Green Star Award/become an Eco Resort by reducing our overall carbon footprint. This is based on our dedication to conservation across a wide range of business functions, including water conservation, energy use, effective waste management, environmentally friendly transportation practices, the use of sustainable materials and the conservation of materials.
We are also one of the only dive centres on the island to offer scuba diving on aluminum tanks, which are much more lightweight and comfortable than their heavy steel counterparts.
Our full range of scuba programs, excellent equipment selection and dive activities ultimately promote aquatic environmental responsibility and awareness.
