EXCELLENT Based on 87 reviews Posted on Stéphanie ZweifelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Une équipe au top, professionnelle et attentionnée, un bateau luxueux, bien équipé et confortable, des plongées dans des canyons, des cheminées, avec requins quasiment tout le temps, dans une eau chaude et une visi de dingue! Un summum!Posted on Dove WoodsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Une équipe au top, un grand professionnalisme, du matériel de haut niveau (rare en location), une réelle gentillesse très sincère et pas feinte, une ambiance chaleureuse et une vraie solidarité entre les moniteurs, deux bateaux très confortables et neufs... What else ? De plus, les spots de plongée aux alentours sont absolument magnifiques. Une club de plongée tip top pour des aventures sous-marines inoubliables. Merci beaucoup à toute l'équipe.Posted on DA SILVA GEORGESTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Après plusieurs tentative pour un baptême dans d’autre centre de plongée infructueuse, j’ai de nouveau pu reprendre confiance grâce a l’équipe présente qui vous informe , explique et reste proche. Un grand merci et toute l’équipe et un clin d’œil à Julien très professionnel et attentif !! 👍👍👍Posted on Theo MarinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Returning to Only Blue Diving this year felt less like booking another trip and more like coming home. We first discovered this gem last year, and it quickly became clear that it was something extraordinary. The incredible team played such a meaningful role in our experience that there was no question—we had to come back. And once again, they exceeded every expectation. From the very first moment, the warmth and genuine care of the crew reminded us why we fell in love with this place. Their hospitality is the kind that lingers with you—it’s not just about being friendly, it’s about making you feel seen, supported, and completely at ease. It’s rare to find that kind of authentic connection, but it’s the heart and soul of Only Blue. The diving itself? Absolutely spectacular. Columbus Isle offers a vibrant underwater world, and the crew knows every inch of it like an old friend. The briefings are clear and reassuring, and once you’re in the water, you’re in the best of hands. Every dive is a blend of calm professionalism and sheer wonder—from playful reef fish and dramatic walls to peaceful drift dives that make you forget time entirely. A very special thank you goes to Simon, our TEC instructor. His expertise, clarity, and calm, methodical teaching style were instrumental in our growth as divers. We owe so much of our technical success to him—his mentorship gave us not only new skills but also the confidence to push ourselves in a safe, informed way. It’s not every day you meet an instructor who can teach with such depth and precision while making it feel empowering and fun. Only Blue Diving is more than a dive center—it’s a community built on passion, trust, and a deep love for the ocean. The entire team pours their hearts into what they do, and it shows in every detail, every dive, and every warm farewell at the dock. Thank you, Only Blue, for another unforgettable chapter in our dive journey. We’re already looking forward to the next one.Posted on Bruno VaesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. La grande classe ! Une trentaine de plongée pour notre groupe de quatre personnes, dont Le passage de mon PADI Advanced, avec Alex, le tout, entouré d’une équipe, extrêmement professionnelle, bienveillante, sécurisante, du matériel et un bateau des plus récents, une équipe des plus sympathique. Merci à vous tous, en particulier à toi, Ben, et Alex, pour ma certification ! We will be back!Posted on Stéphanie Zolesio RouxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Superbe expérience avec Only Blue - Diving Dreams, je recommande sans réserve. Bien sûr, l’endroit est magique avec des fonds magnifiques, des poissons, requins, etc… et une visibilité dingue. Mais ce qui fait la différence est dans l’expérience autour de ces magnifiques plongées ! J’y ai trouvé une équipe hyper professionnelle, qui assure des plongées : 1. en toute sécurité (briefing impeccable, matériel de pointe et en état neuf, médecin de plongée présent sur place, caisson hyperbare en cas de problème) 2. en toute détente pour le plus grand plaisir des plongeurs (confort incroyable du bateau et des équipements/installations du club, facilité et fluidité de l’organisation parfaitement rodée, petites palanquées et spots de plongée sans autre bateau, sens de l’accueil et du service ++, adaptation de l’équipe à chaque plongeur et chaque niveau sur le bateau, écoute, convivialité et sympathie sans familiarité déplacée,…) Et ceci pour toutes les nationalités puisque l’équipe est polyglotte ! 3. en toute eco-responsabilité : loin du greenwashing ou des seuls mots, le club agit discrètement mais activement pour la préservation des fonds marins (fermes de corail, partenaires de programmes scientifiques) fait preuve d’un sourcing responsable - du bateau hybride jusqu’à la crème solaire écologique, et agit en cohérence dans les comportements que j’ai pu observer (bien au-delà de la politique «zéro plastique à bord »). Sans jamais être donneur de lecons ou se vanter de sa vertu, la discrétion et l’humilité étant clairement des qualités que l’on constate quand on prend le temps de découvrir comment le club fonctionne. Bref, parfait !Posted on Thierry AmzallagTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Je recommande vivement ce cub de plongée . Convivialité, professionnalisme. Topographie, flore et faune . Requins gris à la pelle . Requins marteaux. Tortues , barracudas, raies Eagles et tellement d’autres . Festival de couleurs et de vie sous marine . J’y reviendrai.Posted on François DucheneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Génial. Super accueil. Une équipe vraiment sympa et bienveillante !Posted on caroline gallianoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Merci encore pour ce fabuleux baptême !
