Oceanika Diving Club

Set on Mahé in the Seychelles, Oceanika Diving Club is a dive centre with a difference: it's run as an NGO, and every dive you take includes a contribution toward protecting the ocean. Alongside a portion of the dive cost, each booking carries a 30 donation that funds the club's mission — removing abandoned FADs, educating children, and safeguarding local ecosystems.

Courses and diving for every level

As a PADI Dive Center with 3 PADI instructors, Oceanika welcomes both first-timers and seasoned divers. New arrivals can try PADI Discover Scuba Diving from USD 120, work toward the PADI Open Water Diver Course, or step up with PADI Adventure Diver. Experienced divers can head out on twin-tank double dives and multi-day packages to explore the reefs.

Diving from the club's own boat, you may encounter sharks, turtles, whales, rays, eels, ocean fish, corals, anemones and more. With air fills, full equipment rental including kids' gear, and staff working in English and French, it's a welcoming base for anyone keen to dive Mahé with purpose.
