Comments Atoll Divers Seychelles is a relatively new operation, opening up less than a year ago. The staff is friendly and welcoming and they communicated well prior to our arrival in Seychelles. They responded quickly to all inquiries. They have a large, spacious boat with plenty of deck space and a built in compressor. They fill tanks between dives. They offer snacks and drinks on board. The dive guides give a sufficient dive briefings and lead the group throughout the dive. The two DM’s we had were professional and were good at finding both small and large subjects. The dives were usually between 45 min to an hour, depending on air consumption of the divers and depth. On drift dives all divers surfaced as a group. On stationary dives, those with better breathing capacity could stay a bit longer. The diving was very good with a variety of large and small critters. The corals were healthy in some areas and seem to be recovering in others. We went on one of their diving safaris where you go on a long range trip, doing three dives along the way. It is an all day affair and lunch is served on board. It was a nice day as we saw several sharks, Eagle Rays,large Stingrays, massive fish schools and a variety of other critters. There is a bucket on board to rinse all gear at the end of the day and a small hose. There are no separate provisions for cameras and we cleaned ours in the shower when we got back to our room. They are very accommodating and would most likely provide you with a rinse bucket, if requested. We had an excellent time diving with Atoll Divers Seychelles and we would definitely use them again. I can highly recommend this operation without reservation.
