The Heart Behind Your Holiday

Located in the heart of the Indian Ocean, Diving Cruises are conceived from a desire to share a passion for an exceptionally beautiful environment. The growing interest in ‘diving cruises’ in Seychelles has led us to establish a very special itinerary for divers in the heart of the archipelago on board our new liveaboard MV Galatea. Every single detail has been designed for divers and their comfort on board. We provide a high-quality service ranging from welcome upon arrival, assistance during diving trips, and an attentive and professional Crew.

Our Story

Established in Seychelles in 2002, transferring from Europe and chasing the dream. The love for our diving job and the caring energy that we have employed over the past years with our Blue Sea Divers diving center gave us the opportunity to embark on our DIVING CRUISES SEYCHELLES’ adventure in 2010 with the purchase of a Turkish steel schooner on which we have devoted all our experience to make it exceptionally pleasant and functional for divers. Our boat Galatea has become a reality since the summer of 2013 when she finally reached the archipelago after a long and complete renovation.
