At EASYDIVE all dives are accompanied by a guide or by a divemaster, and
limited to 10 divers. The spots are reached by boat in 10 to 20 minutes.
Le Meridien, Grand Mauritian
Pointe Aux Biches (5 to 12m)
A very attractive small reef with a big variety of soft and hard coral and an
aboundance of tropical fish. The ideal spot for beginners and for experienced
divers interested in macrophotography.
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.
STENOPUS 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, whitetip sharks and tuna are frequent visitors of the dive
site.
WATER LILY 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.
STELLA MARU (Wreck) (16-26m)
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.
The second attraction apart of the common tropical fish are the giant moray eels
and the number of bottom dwelling creatures lying unseen around the wreck or in
cervices and recesses in the coral patches surrounding it.
Les Pavillons
AQUARIUM / LA COLLINE (5 to 18m)
Ideal dives for beginners. One can admire the vibrant life of the reef between 5 and 18 meters. This spot is fascinating especially for macro-photographers. THE "Easy-dive"!
ST. JACQUES (16 to 32m)
One of the most famous dives in Mauritius. Drift dive through the reef. Grey reef sharks, bullsharks, eagle rays, stingrays, turtles... everything a diver wishes for. DO IT!
LA GORGONNE (14 to 35m)
A huge gorgonia (over 3 metres in diameter) on a 20 metres wall.
Often, curious bluefin trevallies accompany the divers.
LA CHEMINEE (14 to 27m)
This region is richly populated with fish. In particular stonefishes, scorpionfishes, lionfishes and fusiliers. The dive leads up through a 7 metres-long chimney.
CASIERS (28 to 32m)
The bottom is flat and slopes slightly. Nevertheless the coral growth and the
fish variety are considerable. The characteristic of this spot though, is the
frequent presence of gamefish (tunas, wahoos and barracudas).
LA MURENE (15 to 24m)
In a 5 metres wall lives "BARBARA", a lovely giant moray (2 metres) who is used to divers. Additionally, crayfishes, groupers and snappers make this dive a colourful one.
WHITE TIP (18 to 32m)
This site is (like ST. JACQUES) situated on the untouched Mauritian southcoast, and is therefore very rich in fish: barracudas, trevallies, groupers, lionfishes, crayfish, morays...
HOI SIONG (WRECK) (16 to 28m)
This is our new wreck! Scuttled in February 2003 by the Mauritius Marine Conservation Society in order to create an artificial reef, this beautiful wreck has already been colonised by an enormous variety of fish. Here you can watch the predators, like kingfish, tunas and rainbow runners, chase thousands of small fish.
