Open every day?
The dive centre operates every possible day of the year, except for Christmas (25.12) and New Year (1.1). (It is by measures of precaution because of Eve's festive nights)
The dive centre is closed during storm/cyclonic conditions and even after cyclonic warnings have been lifted, the state of the sea does not allow venturing at sea for a few days. The authorities and our insurance force our boats to be taken to shelter at the harbour in Port-Louis. In this case no diving operation can take place until the boats are back to Trou aux Biches.
Please note that if our boats cannot venture at sea, no other boats could either.... Fortunately for us, cyclones are quite rare and our incapacity most of the time last about 3 days.
