点评:For reference, I'm divemaster (trained totally in the UK), have dived in multiple places around the world and 3 liveaboards completed. I feel I have enough experience to know a bit of what I'm talking about lol.
Anyway, for the review.
There's a friendly atmosphere at the centre. The boat is docked pretty much across the road from the shop. The number of divers on the boat was acceptable, maybe 6 divers. The company listened to what I was requesting on the morning for our first trip and picked dive sites to line up to my wishes which is definitely appreciated.
There were a few negative points though.
1. Ahead of arriving to Mauritius I mentioned multiple times of my desire to dive at Coin de Mire. I was told it can be done with minimum 5 divers on the boat (which seems highly likely as the dive centre is busy). However when I arrived and mentioned this in person the staff seems very vague. I asked them to contact me to organise a trip however after a few days I didn't hear anything and realised that there probably wasn't going to be any proactive arrangement. This led me to change my diving to Crystal Divers who go regularly. I wish pro divers had been more upfront with me that they probably wouldn't dive there as I feel like a wasted a few days hanging on for them to organise.
2. This is quite a DIY style operation, as in you put your own kit together and change your own cylinders. Crystal Divers did all this for us.
3. No boat safety briefing.
4. Last minute and minimal dive briefing, done with 3 lead weights. Don't think there was anything about safety procedures in it.
5. The ascent is started when you hit 50 bar. It's recommended by PADI to have 50 bar spare when you're at the surface.
All in all, they were ok. Would i recommend them to my dive friends at home, probably not.

总之,写篇评论吧。
潜水中心的氛围很友好。船停靠在商店对面。船上的潜水员人数还可以接受,大概6人。公司听取了我第一次潜水行程当天早上提出的要求,并根据我的意愿选择了潜水地点,这绝对值得赞赏。
不过也有一些不足之处。
1. 在抵达毛里求斯之前,我多次提到我想去Coin de Mire潜水。他们告诉我,船上至少需要5名潜水员(考虑到潜水中心人流很大,这似乎很有可能)。然而,当我亲自到达并提到这一点时,工作人员似乎对此含糊其辞。我让他们联系我安排行程,但几天后我没有任何消息,意识到他们可能不会主动安排。这让我决定换到水晶潜水公司(Crystal Divers),他们经常去。我希望专业潜水员能更坦白地告诉我,他们可能不会去那里潜水,因为我觉得等他们安排行程好几天都白等了。
2. 这完全是DIY操作,你需要自己组装装备,自己更换气瓶。水晶潜水公司帮我们搞定了这一切。
3. 没有船上安全简报。
4. 最后一刻才进行的简单潜水简报,用了3个铅坠。别以为里面有什么安全程序。
5. 压力达到50巴时开始上升。PADI建议浮出水面时要留出50巴的备用压力。
总而言之,他们还不错。我会推荐他们给我家乡的潜水朋友吗?可能不会。
