Scuba Diving Mauritius West

Here is a sample of some dive sites in this package. Remember to bring your certification as proof.

In the south-west, out from the Le Pavilion hotel, the Aquarium or La Colline dive is ideal for beginners. Divers can admire vibrant reef life of the reef between 5 and 18 meters. This spot is fascinating especially for macro-photographers. This is an easy dive with no current.

Casiers requires an "Advanced Open Water" level certification. The bottom of this dive site is flat and tilts slightly between 28 to 32 m. However, the coral and the fish species vary considerably. The characteristic of this dive spot is the frequent presence of game fish such as tunas, wahoos and barracudas.

In the North-west out from theLe Meridien Resort, the Stenopus Reef dive requires an "Advanced Open Water" level certificate.  At 28-38 m, this picturesque dive site has many interesting features.

Divers will see tubastrea corals of more than 2m in height. The walls of the drop off are decorated with large fan corals and a wide variety of soft corals. The dive also has a large variety of tropical fish. Pelagic fish species can be seen because of the site's exposure to the deep waters of the open sea. With deeps between 38 and 28 m kingfish, wahoo, stingrays, white tip sharks and tuna are frequent visitors of the dive site.

The Stella Maru dive mandates an "Advanced Open Water" level certificate. This is the wreck of a Japanese trawler that was intentionally sunk by the Mauritius Marine Conservation Society in 1987.

The real attraction of this dive is in the spectacular sight of a ship lying, still virtually intact, on the floor starting at 16m to the bottom at 26m. The second attraction is the sight of giant moray eels and other bottom dwelling creatures lying around the wreck or in the crevices and recesses of the surrounding coral patches. The marine growth on the wreck is moderate. Common tropical fish can also be seen.
