What an incredible experience we had with instructor Jeremie and skipper Jacky. Both were super professional, supportive and very knowledgeable!!

The dive centre was well organised and had great facilities, including showers and toilets.

Jeremie made us feel comfortable and confident throughout our dive and always put our safety first.

We would highly recommend this family-run business and would really recommend this lifetime experience to any beginners. Trust me, you will tick off a bucket list item!!!

We can’t wait to squeeze in another dive before we head back to Australia.

I went diving three times with Captain Mimi’s dive center in December 2025. An incredible experience; Johnny went above and beyond to ensure everything went perfectly. He was remarkably kind and professional.

Dived Stella Maru and Tariq 2 — definitely rate the experience. Both wrecks were incredible, with plenty of fish life and the vessel structures still beautifully intact. Full penetration was possible on both sites, and the marine diversity was unreal. Spotted pipefish, frogfish, boxfish, eels, octopus, a giant trevally, and even a snake. Visibility was excellent and made the dives even more stunning.

Everything was super easy to organise, and the break between dives came with fresh gâteau piment from a local shop — such a great touch. Honestly, one of the highlights of Mauritius.

Big shoutout to Jeremie and Loic for making the day smooth, safe, and genuinely fun. Great price, great crew, great dives. Highly recommend 🙂

Magnificent diving experience for me in a small group!
A little stressed, everything was explained to me, a few exercises later and I was able to dive in the company of Jérémie and Johnny who held my hand the whole time 🙏🏻.
Corals, fish of all colors, and turtles were there! Thanks again

I spent a whole month with this family club, on a human scale. Always concerned about his customers.

You will be spoiled for choice at Trou aux Biches. I wasn’t bored once with all these spots.
They are accessible in 10/15 minutes max, super practical when you want to enjoy your afternoon.
The boat goes to sea even if you are the only customer, something that happened to me for a good 3 weeks. This mentality is truly exceptional. Unlike other clubs, they are the first to go to sea. You will have the ocean to yourself.
And all this at a knockdown price 😂

What do you think of this family?
The boss (Johnny) always takes care of you and serves you a shot of mixed rum 😂😂
Jérémie, the Community Manager, will answer all your questions, always with his big smile. The Dive master, Loïc, a trusted partner, he will advise you, guide you and find these aquatic animals, a great pleasure to have him as a partner. And finally Jacky the skipper 🧑‍✈️, alalalala, never seen such a funny captain, it’s “no problem” with him, this guy is always in a good mood.
For sure, you will have a great time with these guys.

A big thank you to this family for this organization without whom I would never have been able to plan this trip.

Just amazing!!!
Johnny and Jacky accompanied us for our first dive.
If you are looking for a dive in a small group (we were just 2 people, so one instructor each) you are in the right place.

A magnificent and very varied diving location (possibility of seeing turtles)

Respectful of the marine environment.

Extremely professional, Johnny took the time to explain to us all the safety rules and techniques. We felt well taken care of and listened to all our questions.

Warm Mauritian people!

A real favorite!

We recommend them 1000%

Thanks again for everything.

The 3 of them (it’s a family-run business) are really kind and nice and I think that’s why most of the reviews are 5-star, but it’s all misleading.

I enjoyed the people but the equipment and organization is out of date to speak nicely. It feels a bit mom and pop and although I’m an experience diver, I experienced headaches after my first dive, due to the poor quality of air in the tank.

The dive site with the wreck was fine, and it’s close to shore so you don’t waste a ton of time on the boat, but it just doesn’t feel very safe overall. If you’ve never dove or are a beginner, I would not recommend this place.

I did my baptism and my first dive with Jérémie and Loïc, when I was super afraid of the seabed, and of water in general, and I was able to overcome this fear thanks to them, they are super attentive , calm, they take the time without forcing us, in short a super attentive team! I had an incredible time thanks to them, and I would definitely come back to see them again! You can go there with your eyes closed!
Thanks again to the whole team, it’s an experience that will be remembered forever for me!!!

An incredible experience with Jérémy, Johnny and Pascal… For our first diving experience, they took us through the exercises with great patience and knew how to give us confidence. Then we dived and there we were able to see a grandiose marine universe at a depth of 15 meters: sea turtles, schools of fish and multicolored corals. Thanks to them for this magical expedition and we also leave with beautiful images from their GoPro! We will come back with great pleasure to pass our level 1 and why not visit wrecks. Good luck to them 👍

An unforgettable and exceptional experience!
A diving club in Réunion recommended Captain Mimi to me and I was not disappointed!
Johnny and Jérémie were very attentive and attentive. They described each step to us, we asked each time if everything was okay. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience for my diving experience. We saw a great diversity of fish, turtles, shells. The water was azure blue, not a touristy place. Johnny and Jeremy pay close attention to the fauna and flora of their Island. It was a magical experience, I highly recommend them.
Thanks again to them for this unique morning

I completed my BSAC Dive Leader course with the friendly crew at Captain Mimi’s Dive Centre recently, and would recommend them highly. Father Johnny Alexandre was in his own words ‘born in the water’ and has a lifetime of experience diving the many exceptional sites Trou aux Biches offers.
His son Jeremie has taken on this knowledge, and handled bookings and logistics with cheerful efficiency; he is also an excellent underwater photographer, and his work contributes greatly to the Centre’s website.
Coxswain Jacky has years of experience in pinpointing dive sites exactly, and is always ready to help newer divers with equipment.
Special mention must also go to BSAC instructor Chris, who maintained BSAC’s high standards throughout my course: he is a gifted, committed teacher who is happy to pass on his wealth of experience.
I also observed the Centre taking out a group of new divers, and was impressed with the careful preparation and handling in the water, making the ‘diving baptism’ safe and enjoyable.
Throughout my two weeks with the Centre, I felt amongst friends: they are fine, trustworthy people with the experience to enhance the many wonders Mauritius has to offer below the water, as well as being excellent company on the boat and between dives.

I went to Captain’s Mimi for my first dive and it was a great experience. Jeremie and Johnny are experienced instructors who clearly explained each and every step in the training. They were attentive and patient and mindful of the environment and aquatic life.
Affordable costing.
