Accessible to any level of diver, all you need is a reservation and to fill out a medical form (also parental consent for anyone under the age of 18) before taking to the water. We also offer day tours to further world-class diving and snorkelling sites. Just visit the resort’s Concierge Desk for more information and help booking tours, to rent equipment or to find other ways to experience the wonders of Mauritius’ nature.

Diving Information

The west coast of Mauritius is a region with a variety of interesting dive spots, with water temperatures ranging from 22° Celsius in winter (5mm wetsuit) to 28° Celsius in summer (3mm wetsuit). Average visibility: 20 to 25 meters. There is no typical "diving season". Beautiful conditions exist all year round but the visibility can, of course, be affected by waves, plankton, tides or rain.

Pointe Aux Biches (5 to 12m): A very attractive small reef with a big variety of soft and hard coral and an abundance of tropical fish. The ideal spot for beginners and for experienced divers interested in macro photography.

Holts Rock (21m): The dominant landscape feature of Holts Rock is the presence of huge basalt rock of volcanic origin some larger than an average-sized Mauritian house.

Stenopous Reef (28-38m): It is a very picturesque dive site containing many interesting features, such as tubastrea corals of more that 2m in height. There are large fan corals which decorate the walls of a drop off, and a wide variety of soft corals. Another interesting aspect of the dive is that, while it has a large number and a wide variety of tropical fish, many pelagic fish species can also be seen there because of the site's exposure to the deep waters of the open sea. Kingfish, wahoo, stingrays, white tip sharks and tuna are frequent visitors of the dive site.

Water Lilly and Emily (wrecks) (23-26m): These two barges where scuttled to make artificial reefs and lie about 30m from each other. The marine growth on the wrecks is moderate but a wide variety of fish can be seen. These include Moorish idols, powder blue surgeonfish, kingfish and shoals of fusiliers. A number of eels have also made their home in the different corners of the wreck.

Scorpion fish and stonefish can be seen on most of the dives. This Japanese trawler was purposely sunk in 1987 by the Mauritius Marine Conservation Society. The marine growth on the wreck is moderate. The real attraction of this dive lies firstly, in the spectacular sight of a ship lying, still virtually intact, on the floor.

Under direct supervision of an instructor, the participant can ''try out'' Scuba Diving. First in the pool, then in the sea the same day. It's fun, one discovers a new fascinating world and it's absolutely safe!

PADI Open Water Diver (Or CMAS*): After this entry level the candidate is qualified to dive anywhere in the world without supervision (International Certification). A safe and enjoyable course for the whole family!

PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (Or CMAS**): The candidate will develop skills which give him more confidence. He will also become acquainted with deep diving, navigation diving and eventually night diving, search and recovery, wreck diving etc. Prerequisites: PADI Open Water Diver or equivalent.
