The Cotton Diving Centre

Cotton Bay Diving Center Rates

Come enjoy scuba diving among the pristine coral reefs of Rodrigues, an ideal scuba diving destination. Rodrigues' isolated location and limited commercial development have always restricted fishing activities to a minimum. In the lagoons, the pirogues are generally pole propelled. The coral reef has therefore remained untouched and is an outstanding divers' paradise.

Climate - by order of preference, here are the most favourable diving periods.

October, November, December, and January: Good visibility, smooth sea, transit of large marine mammals: humpback whales, etc. Water temperature is between 28 and 30 degrees.

February: Same climate, but with risk of cyclones.

March, April, and May: April is the end of the cyclone season. The wind will grow stronger through the months, and water temperature will fall by 1 or 2 degrees.

Mid - June to Mid - July: Strong winds 1 day out of 3, thus causing the water to be cloudy and preventing us from diving outside the lagoon. The Diving Centre is closed in July.

August: The wind is weaker and the sea calmer. Water temperature lies between 23 and 24 C º and rises every day. The Diving Centre is closed in August.

Equipment:
The Centre is equipped with Scubapro and owns 10 complete sets of equipment: flippers, masks, tubas, long 3 mm mono piece, short 3 mm, stabilizing jackets, Mark 2/R190 regulators, short 12 litre steel mono cylinders, and Bauer compressor.
The boat, the Navasogdi (24 by 8 ft.), is equipped with a 120-litre fresh water tank, portable VHF set, graphic sounder, and GPS (Global Positioning System).
The Cotton Dive Centre is closed in July and August.
