Skin-diving masks and flippers, scuba diving equipment, small discovery submarine or just a swimsuit is all you need to enjoy one of the very pleasurable natural experiences!

Scuba Diving in Mauritius reveals an infinite sea treasure. Its crystal-clear lagoons and magnificent coral beds inhabited by bright colorful fish and moray eels will not fail to surprise the occasional swimmer or diver. The local undersea life around the coastline offers a wide variety.

North & West Coast
Lagoons are large and the water is very calm for the swimmer along the northern beaches and the west coast. Behind the barrier reef, the experienced scuba diver can come across some spectacular underwater caves or large coral blocks.

On the east coast, the underwater life is more varied with greater water circulation in the lagoon. Old shipwrecks are a continuous attraction to the scuba diver.
Specials
Night diving, 'honeymoon' diving and training sessions, of international standards, are available.
