I had been following WiseOceans’ social media for a while, and it was through their Jobs Board that I found the organisation in Fiji where I did my Divemaster qualification. Leaving the beauty of Fiji was hard, especially as it was winter in the UK (and unlike most Brits, I enjoy 30°+ weather), but soon […]
Our newest Marine Educator Flora reflects on her first month or so as a WiseOceans Marine Educator Working for WiseOceans is a great change of pace for me. Having come from the Maldives, as both a resident marine biologist and a dive instructor, I spent more time that I would have liked on the dive […]

‘’Desroches is an island which has a soul’’ I previously wrote about my new island life on Mahé, having moved from my island home of Mauritius but I now have a chance to explore a new island – Desroches. It is the main island of the Amirante Islands, part of the Outer Islands of Seychelles […]

The main reason behind leaving Mauritius was the desire to explore new waters and coming to Seychelles proved to be the best choice. I reached Mahé during the night and could not enjoy the beauty of Seychelles yet. I was first welcomed by the amazing Ben Taylor (Education and Outreach Manager of WiseOceans Seychelles) and eventually […]
The first word that comes to mind when I think about Mauritius is beautiful. The marine life is beautiful, the landscape is beautiful, and the people are beautiful – inside and out. From the moment I landed into Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, I was made to feel welcome. At every turn, you are […]
So, it has been just shy of a month of my time on Mahe working at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles, and not to sound completely cliché but it totally flew by. The first day, arriving down onto the beach at Petite Anse and getting to call this beautiful place my office feels somewhat surreal. The […]
It’s hard to put into words the amazing and memorable experience I had at Four Seasons Resorts Seychelles at Desroches Island. I went to Desroches for two weeks and left the island full of beautiful memories.
