I took two test dives with the Sea Urchins. It was my first time and I was extremely nervous. My dive inistructor, Joe, did an amazing job of calming me down enough and take me down. We spent about 15 minutes going down up to 5 meters. Second dive was even better. This time my dive instructor was Jean. He... More

I am thrilled with having chosen Sea Urchin Dive Centre, they are very professional, but with a personal touch. I could have never chosen a better place to start my scuba experience. I will go back to them every time. Thank you Jean Marc and Katerina. Linda Vernout

I passed an exam in this diving center begining of Jan 2012. The crew was friendly and all the security guidelines seen in the SSI books so far were put in practise in every dive taken. If the training and the course were good, it is more the beautifull underwater landscapes and the natural life that I will remember which... More

Our diving trip was cancelled by our chosen centre, and we had to go ahead with this one as it was the last possible day we could dive (nitrogen levels before the flight back). Cancellation was due to an increased swell on the pass, so we knew there would be some current and diminished visibility. So I should probably have... More

We spent our 2011 Xmas in Flic en Flac and were very happy on all our diving with Sea-Urchin. First, the dive shop is situated at a great location that is easy to spot for people coming in&out of town. Second, all staff from the shop are seasoned. It didnt take much effort to pickup the routine. Plus, they are... More

Excellent under water experience. It is a complete adventure, right from wearing the diving suit, learn the sign language to talk underwater.And the thrill to be able to walk on sea land, touch the fishes and feed them bread crumbs....fond memories!!!

We had three days of diving with Sea Urchin and could not fault the place - apart from the awful style of sunglasses worn by the boat crew :-) We enjoyed a variety of sites suitable to our experience and qualification. The staff consulted with us and we selected diving that was appropriate for the weather and tidal conditions. The... More
