Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It was a great experience. Vikash Purmah and his team are great professionals and very knowledgeable. They give you a lot of security, adapting to the needs of each person. I would go back tomorrow. I give them a 10/10

I have dived with the team at Maritim Diving many times. I am an 'Advanced Open Water' diver, and so feel well qualified to make comments upon the high standards and friendly service offered here. Many of the guests that contact the dive centre are either inexperienced, or even complete novices, and they find a friendly and knowledgeable team who are well able to cater for their needs. There are shallow reef dives upon which to 'discover' scuba diving, through to wrecks at around 30m. Something for everyone!

Very professional instructors, we did our very first dives with them. They took care of everything, are well organised and took best care of our safety. Everyone speaks fluent english, so easy to communicate. We had the feeling that what they are doing is more than a job for them, they love what they do.
Reasonable prices and they even picked us up from our hotel in Trou aux biches

i am not sure how things work in Mauritius. we stayed at the Beachcomber and paid for a parasailing for 4 people/4 turns. we made it clear that our children would take two turns should they be too light and have to go together/in tandem. when we got to Maritime and having waited 30min for the boat we were told that we would only have one turn each and in tandem, contrary to what we paid for and agreed upon. The staff at Maritime would not budge and pretended not to understand English.
Very, very disappointed and a bitter tasted left after all the promise.

Went to pay the bill after a mornings diving to find an extra 1000 “transfer fee” even though we left from the hotel jetty. Asked other divers who has not been charged. They insisted it was to transport me to the dive site, a 10 minute boat ride away from the hotel. Dived a wreck but the boat driver put us in the wrong place and had to give up finding it after 20 mins going around in circles, found it eventually but wasted half a tank. They thought it was funny, i didn’t. Did not check my license, no buddy checks just straight in. In fact the boat captain wanted me to get my bcd on without checking everything worked first. Dive guides nice and knowledgeable though, happy to dive with them, but the boat/office staff are awful. Went to challenge them about the charge and they insisted it applies, even though I am stood next to another diver who has never paid it in the week he has been there. Awful, avoid!

The team at Maritim diving are excellent! Vikash, Rajiv and Nigel are a really experienced bunch of guys and diving with them has been great fun! They really look out for you and give you tips to improve your form and technique while guiding you around dive sites. I’d definitely recommend the centre and look forward to diving with them again...

Professional and extremely experienced team who were welcoming in every way. Calm, patient and knowledgable with a real focus on safety and helping you develop your confidence and skills. Quality equipment, boat and dive shop area. James leading the shop front explained everything clearly and made me feel very welcome. All the boat crew were extremely helpful and Rajiv my dive lead was a fantastic source of support, experience and calm which was very reassuring to me trying to get myself back into diving enjoyment after losing my confidence after an diving issue with equipment failure at another dive centre. Beautiful dive sites with the added bonus of a relaxed green turtle close sighting. Totally recommend, a huge thank you to all and wishing you all the best for your totally deserved future success

We’ve dived with the team from Maritim Divers for a couple of years now. They are always professional friendly and helpful.
Great variety of dive sites (mixture of wrecks and reefs) to accommodate divers of every level. The in house equipment is excellent and well maintained.
Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone thinking of diving in Mauritius, even if you’re not staying at the hotel.
Vikesh, Rajiv, Nigel, Fabrice & James thank you! We look forward to seeing you again soon

I don't normally write reviews, but having had two week's of fantastic diving I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all the team at Maritim Diving Centre for there friendly accommodating professionalism.
Being an experienced technical diving instructor myself, diving both in the UK and abroad, I found the dive centre to be one of the few operators that offers an excellent service to all levels of ability.
Keep up the good work guys!

My partner went 3 times out with the centre and loved it would have done more if he could have. He recommends it if you are here and good value for money

Hi - you can ask me here on the tripadvisor platform. What would you like to know? Basically: it is a well kept ressort - not new. nice beach, nice setting, nice big area for walks. We had a look at some other hotels in the same category: The maritim one met our wishes best. As we are divers anyway: Very good divebase and other watersports right at the spot. Service at the hotel very good. Rooms tidy. Good food in all variations. All best henry

Hi there,I'm suppose to arrive in Mauritius in a few weeks and I'm very interested in doing scuba diving with sharks, do you organise diving with sharks? Thanks.
James K
Pointe aux Sables, Black River, Mauritius
Hi Jesus, sharks on our dive site are not 100% guarantee. We offer diving on some nice wrecks, some deep dive and also so drift but we offer mostly some reef dive with some good visibility and relax dive.

Hi Rob thanks for your kind suggestions.
Hi Corny, we propose a small pool session to review some of the underwater skills and go for a shallow dive max. 12-15m (test dive). The refresher is free of charge, he will just pay for the dive.
