Canal Trazar

★★★★☆ (42)

Like other dive sites from the west coast of Mauritius, a combination of reef and sandy bottom. The name comes from the small steep slope formed by the reef.

We have a high concentration of parrotfish in addition to the usual reef fish. The trained eye is sure to find a nudibranch or two.
