Ben Cadet is one of the pioneer’s of scuba diving in Mauritius with 39 years’ worth of experience. He invites you to discover the beauty of the underwater marine life on the East coast which he knows particularly well as he was the “creator” of the different diving sites in 1990 in the Belle Mare Channel such as “Japanese Garden, l ’Aquarium, Chateau, Sea Fan Forest, Long Cliff, Sea Fan Valley…
He has a vast experience and has created and managed no less than six diving centers on the island.
Ben and his team now wish to share their conception of “diving for pleasure” with his new company “Dive Passion Mauritius” as diving for him is above all a human adventure of sharing and discovery.
Our diving enthusiast will offer you tailor made dives in a warm and convivial atmosphere:
A personalized service
Minimum amount of participants per dive
An exceptional choice of diving sites that will leave you with an unforgettable souvenir
Safety is our motto!
The East coast of the island is surrounded by a magnificent lagoon. The passages leading to the open seas are rich in plankton and attract a huge variety of sea creatures.
The Channel in Belle Mare is without doubt one of the most beautiful spots on the Island.

Genuinely amazing, professional and friendly. The best way to start your scuba Diving Experience! – I have wanted to try scuba diving for many decades and finally got the opportunity whilst visiting Mauritius for my 21 wedding anniversary. I contacted Yannick over the phone… read more from my hotel and he was very polite and friendly. He helped me took a convenient day to start my scuba discovery and was on hand over WhatsApp to answer any questions. On the day Benjamin collected me from my hotel and from the minute I met him I felt welcomed and in good hands. The whole team at the dive centre was professional and genuinely friendly and welcoming; any nerves I may have had melted away quickly.
My one to one instructor was Ricardo, who was excellent. Instruction was clear, calm and informative. Ricardo was so good and answering all my questions. I felt a good connection with him and this gave me confidence to be able to relax and enjoy what was to be a life changing experience.
We dived a number of times over the following days on the beautiful reef at Belle Mare’ and were able to see many wonderful creatures and observe the diverse ecosystem. Ricardo was thoughtful and keen to ensure I enjoyed every moment of my dives with confidence and total safety. I would highly recommend ‘Dive Passion’ for anyone visiting Mauritius and wanting an adventure of a lifetime. I am joked and have started my PADI journey. I hope to return to dive again with the team and also plan to continue diving now I have the bug!

I passed my PADI OW the month before and this was going to be my first recreational dive, my first ocean dive, first boat dive and my first warm water… read more dive so as you can imagine I was a little nervous.
Yannick was awesome!!
He talked me through every step, put all my fears to rest and we got straight on with it. I absolutely loved it. The instruction was perfect, I felt very safe, secure and very looked after all the way through. So much so that 1 dive turned in to 2 and then I booked a second day later in the week!
The kit was all top notch, perfectly fitted and comfortable.
The dive sites were awesome, 5 minute (steady) boat trip to each one, plenty to see including eels, turtles and another dive saw some rays!
The whole team was awesome, they even arranged a local transfer from my hotel.
I cannot fault them at all, thanks so much Ben, the whole team and especially Yannick!

This was my first visit to Mauritius and I was excited but also nervous about meeting the team and starting the rescue course – everyone was so welcoming and made me feel right at home.
I completed the rescue course with Koala who made me feel so comfortable from the start and my nervousness about the course quickly disappeared. He really took the time to explain every aspect of a rescue as well as practicing the best ways to handle lots of scenarios so that I felt confident when the time came for my final assessment.
Yannick, Koala, Michel, Ricardo and Stylovan are ALL simply incredible and they really made me feel like a part of the Dive Passion Mauritius family. I would strongly recommend this team to anyone looking to start diving or continue their education and I can’t wait to see them all again in the future!
