Exemplary service and absolutely brilliant diving - This is a first class operation from start to finish. Excellent staff- instructors (especially Bobby and Roger), boat handlers and administrative support. The shark safari was absolutely brilliant - check out the video from 11th December 2022 on their youtube channel. Great variety of dives on offer with such fabulous wildlife - big stuff, small stuff - that will excite and entrance everyone! Check out Ocean Spirits videos on youtube

Dive holiday in Mauritius Grand Baie - My family of 5 did our Nitrox Course at the Ocean Spirit Dive Center. It's conveniently located along the main road. Communication was easy and Riki always responded promptly. Our coach Bobby was excellent and took us through our Course safely and efficiently. Instruction was in English and there wasn't any problem communicating. They provide wetsuits, fins and masks. If you need to have your own personal dive computer, it is better to bring your own as they may not have enough to go around.

Out of Oxygen in 12 m Deep at DSD - I would like to share the horror experience my husband and I made with this diving school first, afterwards I will tell the whole story. My husband got out of oxygen on 12 m deep in the ocean and was not able to breath anymore and I saw everything! Huge shock! How could this happen within a supervised DSD dive??? Not excusable! But from the beginning.. I did a fun dive one time before, my husband never dived and wanted to try it. We booked the DSD course and came to the dive school where this nice guy gave us all the equipment and went with us to the beach to explain all the basics in 1m deep water. We felt really comfortable and safe with him. He ensured to us that we will feel comfortable and that we do everything slowly and he will do all the technical stuff for us. Everything seamed highly professional to us. We were told that we will go up to 6-8 meters, but then he brought us on a boat and we went with a group and we were told now 12 meters... little difference but hey, we felt comfortable... On the boat was this family and they had a boy crying because he was afraid to drive, so the guide we felt comfortable with left us behind and we went into the water with another guide we did not know before. We told him few times that this is our first dive. As we started to go deeper he was not really patient with us so we kind of rushed down there.. despite any fears and panics we had. That lead to bleeding in both of my eyes since I blowed my nose way too hard to be able to go deeper because I'm not trained and should not do this within so less time but others of the group waited at the ground of the ocean for us.. but okay this can happen and it will go away. But what might not go away is the shock my husband got. Within the dive his oxygen level went to 40 bar and we learned under 50 its time to get up so he swam to the guide and showed him and he just waved his hand, so he thought well not jet a problem.. but no 5 minutes later nothing came out of the bottle anymore, he looked around and the guide was not next to him. So without any air to breath he started swimming towards the guide and giving him hand signs that he could not breath. After a few seconds he gave him his backup mouth piece and the three of us went up slowly. Back on the boat they mentioned that this would be no big deal and can happen. Fortunately nothing seriously happened but this thing was really messed up! This is not supposed to happen! This can never happen under supervision of a experienced diver from a diving center with one how is first time in his live diving! I cannot believe this! We made some research and even the internet.. the place where you can find any crazy story was not able to find one other example like this... this never happens! Regarding the whole trip I don't think that this diving school is bad in particular and mistakes can happen, but at this point we felt very unsafe and I hope that that this is not the normal procedure and will never happen to anyone again.
