Diving in Mauritius: explore top sites, wrecks and marine life

Underwater, fish and coral reefs await you for memorable dives at one of the 200 listed sites. The island is renowned for its hundred or so shipwrecks and its rich marine life: rays, sharks, barracudas, coral and reef fish of all kinds...

Numerous diving centres accredited by international organisations (PADI, CMAS, FFESSM...) share their passion with beginners and experienced divers alike. They will take you diving safely to the main spots, off Flic en Flac and Tamarin, around the north-west coast and the northern islands, or to the south-east from Blue Bay.
