Scuba diving in Mauritius

Mauritius lists 13 dive sites on the west coast around Flic-en-Flac and the north around Grand Baie and Trou aux Biches. The Cathedral, a cavern system on sand at roughly 18–30 m off Flic-en-Flac, is the signature dive; the Kei Sei 113 and Stella Maru add two wreck dives. Our climatology scores November to April highest — 62–78% of sampled days favorable, water about 26–28 °C — and June to September lowest at 21–41%; historical patterns, not a forecast.

Match depth and difficulty

Difficulty labels vary by site. Depth details vary by site. Use those signals as a starting point, then confirm the plan against training, equipment, and current local guidance.

Check conditions close to the dive

PickADive can help with research and comparison, but it does not certify that a dive is safe today. Weather, current, visibility, entry, boat traffic, and local rules can change quickly.

Common questions about diving in Mauritius

Where is the diving in Mauritius?

Two clusters: the west coast off Flic-en-Flac in Black River district (The Cathedral, Rempart Serpent, the Kei Sei 113 wreck) and the north off Grand Baie and Trou aux Biches in Rivière du Rempart (Whale Rock, with the Stella Maru wreck nearby in Pamplemousses). Boats leave from the coastal bases; we found no dive-relevant ferry.

When is the best time to dive Mauritius?

Across 13 Mauritius sites our climatology scores November through April highest — 62–78% of sampled days favorable, water about 26–28 °C — and June through September lowest at 21–41%, with water about 24–26 °C. Historical patterns from measured conditions, not a forecast.

Are there rules for diving in Blue Bay Marine Park?

Yes. Blue Bay, on the south-east coast, has been a marine park since 2000 (and a Ramsar site since 2008); diving there is restricted to certified divers, requires a permit, and uses mooring buoys. None of the park’s sites are in the PickADive catalog yet.

Can PickADive tell me if conditions are safe today in Mauritius?

No. PickADive helps with destination research and site comparison in Mauritius, but it does not certify that a dive is safe today. Site pages show forecast-derived condition outlooks and historical seasonality — planning aids computed from measured data, never a judgment that a particular dive is advisable. Check current conditions, training limits, equipment, local rules, and operator guidance before diving.

Getting to Mauritius

Fly into Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU). Divers base themselves in Flic-en-Flac (west); Grand Baie and Trou aux Biches (north).

Day boats from the coastal bases; we found no dive-relevant ferry. Blue Bay Marine Park requires a permit and certification to dive.

Logistics change — confirm schedules and permit rules with the operator you book with.
