SCUBA

Scuba gear rental is offered free of charge with a full setup service. Alphonse Island is a PADI certified dive centre and a PADI divemaster leads all dives.

Our team schedule up to three recreational SCUBA dives daily, with two tank dives planned in the mornings and a single tank dive in the afternoon. On request, dawn dives are possible to start your SCUBA exploration by torch light, looking for larger pelagic species at their most active.

With multiple dive sites around the Alphonse Atoll and neighbouring St Francois Atoll, there are plenty of options for all qualification levels, where you’re guaranteed not to be dropped in on by any other dive boats while on the water.
