Comments	Founded in 1976, the Underwater Centre ownership changed in Sept. 2021 and the website is being revised. The Centre is conveniently located in Beau Vallon on the island of Mahe, Seychelles. The Centre is situated on the waterfront, on the grounds of the Berjaye Beau Vallon Bay Resort & Casinoa, a 15 minute boat ride to the dive sites. Parking is readily available for those not staying at the hotel. My primary purpose in writing is to comment on the customer focus of the Dive Seychelles Underwater Centre. It is now owned and operated by an all local staff who are all fun-loving, professional, helpful, and accommodating. Above and below water, the dive masters were attentive and helpful without being intrusive. The Underwater Centre offers a 2 tank morning dive and a shallow 1 tank afternoon dive, allowing for snorkelers. The visibility on the shallow afternoon dives was limited to 5 to 10 meters with sediment as a result of wind. What I wished I had known: The island is mountainous with narrow twisting roads that sometimes cannot accommodate 2 vehicles. That said, if staying on Mahe, I would recommend either staying in accommodation on the coast or renting a small car.
