Mauritius

Explore Mauritius

The quiet beauty of Mauritius and its fortunate position in the heart of the Indian Ocean makes it a haven for divers and nature lovers in general. Almost the entire island is fringed by coral reefs providing a vibrant and rich home for marine life and endless possibilities for divers. The Mauritian government has also sunk ships as artificial reefs, these have been slowly taken over by corals and marine life which includes an excellent variety of reef fish, sharks and plentiful turtle species.

Visibility is, to put it lightly, excellent with 20-30 meters average but up to 40 meters in places. Weather conditions are usually very calm and the water warm enough for short wetsuit diving. The conditions on the reefs and lagoons are ideal for dive courses with plenty of deeper shark and wreck dives for more advanced divers. There are a number of dive resorts on the island which offer luxurious accommodation and diving packages. The main towns also have independent dive centers which often offer interesting dive courses such as shark diving and wreck speciality courses.
