Just Diving in Mauritius

Just Diving Mauritius is an independent, eco-conscious dive centre situated in the north of the island. Located at Bain Boeuf, between Grand Baie, Pereybere and Cap Malheureux, the centre sits directly opposite the beach, offering easy access to the northern and eastern dive sites.

As a PADI 5 Star centre, they manage a wide variety of diving styles. Whether you are looking for a relaxed reef exploration, a dedicated wreck dive, or a specialised shark safari, the centre operates with a focus on professional standards and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

The team is composed of professional, multi-lingual instructors capable of conducting courses in both English and French. They maintain a strict safety standard, keeping groups small with a ratio of four to six divers per guide.

Their expertise spans the entire spectrum of diving, from teaching Bubblemaker and Seal Team programmes for children to guiding advanced technical divers through complex decompression profiles. The instructors are noted for their patience and rigorous approach to safety and instruction.

The training catalogue is extensive, covering all major certifying bodies including PADI, SSI, CMAS, FFESSM, SDI, TDI, NAUI, CEDIP, ANMP, BSAC, and rEvo. Beginners can start with Discover Scuba Diving or Bubblemaker, progressing through Open Water Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver.

For those looking to specialise, the centre offers courses in Wreck Diver, Drift Diver, Underwater Navigator, and Peak Performance Buoyancy. They also provide niche training such as Coral Reef Conservation, Fish Identification, and Underwater Naturalist.

Technical training is a core strength, with courses ranging from TEC 40, TEC 45, and TEC 50 to more advanced Trimix profiles like TEC Trimix 65 and Normoxic Trimix Plus 75. They also offer dedicated Sidemount training and full CCR rebreather programmes.

The centre provides full equipment hire, with a focus on well-maintained and modern kit. For those who prefer to use their own gear, they offer specific services such as harness, wing, and regulator hire.

Technical divers will find the necessary support for advanced profiles, including Nitrox and Trimix availability. For rebreather divers, they provide CCR accessories and handle helium and Sofnolime requirements, though these specific gases are billed separately from the dive itself.

The marine life in this region is diverse, with frequent sightings of sea turtles, rays, and various species of sharks. You will often encounter dolphins while transiting between sites, adding to the experience of the North Mauritius waters.

On the reef, look for colourful Butterflyfish and various scorpionfish hiding amongst the structures. The area is also home to nudibranchs, shrimp, and various species of reef fish that populate the coral ecosystems.

Macro enthusiasts will find plenty to observe, including various species of shrimp and small crustaceans that inhabit the reef flats and crevices.

Diving in this area often involves using ocean currents, particularly during drift dives. The centre organises various types of dives to suit different sea states, from sheltered reef explorations to more exposed offshore trips.
