Dive Sites Grand Bay Aquarium Depth: 10 - 15 m An ideal dive site for the beginners but also a place all divers will deeply appreciate for the colourful and rich fauna and flaura. The location is perfect for photographers who want to capture reef life beautifully as they will benefit from optimal natural lighting at such depth. The species present here are very diverse and include surgeonfish, angelfish, nudibranches, small moray eels, puffer fish... amongst others. The sea bed is part coral but also sandy in areas, which makes it a suitable location for training of those doing diving courses.    Pereybere Aquarium Depth: 12 m This is also a very interesting dive site for the beginners. There are algae, stonefish, puffer fish. There are also many small moray eels, and you can see peacock shrimps in some anemones. Coral Gardens Depth: 15 - 22 m This dive site abounds in reef fish as well as rock structures and soft corals. There  are trigger fish, lobsters can be found hiding in crevices and there is even a giant moray eel. Sometimes, we get lucky enough to see turtles.   Pointe Vacoas Depth: 15 - 19 m Here you will find a diversity of soft and hard corals, the latter rising beautifully upwards with the numerous fish among them, for instance parrotfish, catfish, leaf fish and puffer fish. Firefish are also very frequent here and there is a giant moray eel.   Lost Anchor Depth: 18 - 30 m The site is centred around a mysterious 17th century ship's anchor. There are three huge boulders, with hard and soft corals around them, and gorgonians including picturesque sea fans. Here you can see big kingfish, lobsters, frogfish and a one-eyed moray eel. It is possible to start at Lost Anchor and then during the same dive drift to the neighbouring shallower dive site, 'Holt's Rock' whose description follows below; or else the latter can always be explored separately.   Peter Holt's Rock Depth: 18 - 21 m Peter Holt's Rock comprises huge basalt rocks of volcanic origin, covered with soft corals and sea fans. The crevices, cracks and tunnels between the rocks are home to a thriving marine life consisting of crayfish, bigeye emperor fish, lobsters, triggerfish, scorpionfish... A friendly giant moray eel is also seen on most dives.   Whale Rock 1 Depth: 12 - 27 m The site is made up of enormous rocky plateaus at different depths, like an underwater mountain.  To add to this unique experience, there is a big leopard moray eel, sea fans, black corals and other species.   Whale Rock 2 Depth: 22 - 38 m A dive at whale rock always feels special because of the impressive environmental setting of the site, the likes of which few divers will have encountered before. The site is in fact split into two, at different depths. At Whale Rock 2, you will sea big soft corals of 1.5 - 2 m high and sometimes, we can see sharks.   Turtle House Depth: 15 - 30 m Here you can see different types of turtles, many of which come here to rest underneath big rocks. There are also stonefish, lionfish and scorpionfish. Furthermore, during the whale season, we may get lucky enough to see whales.   Caravelle Depth: 15 - 30 m Caravelle consists of rocky formations with tunnels and caves and has a rich marine presence. Here you will often see shoals of numerous batfish as well as angelfish, surgeonfish, goatfish and sometimes turtles, barracudas or even a small shark.   Stenopus Depth: 20 - 38 m This dive site is very picturesque, consisting of two little underwater islands, with various interesting characteristics such as tubastrea corals of more than 2m in height. There are large sea fans decorating the walls of a drop-off, and also a wide variety of soft corals. Interestingly, while Stenopus has a large number of tropical fish, many pelagic fish species such as kingfish, wahoo, stingrays, white tip sharks and tuna can also be met there because of the site's exposure to the deep waters of the open sea.   Black Forest Depth: 30 - 40 m This dive site is close to Stenopus, also very picturesque, with countless black corals as well as soft corals of 2 - 3 m long. You can also see hammerhead shark sometimes.   Stella Maru Depth: 16 - 25 m The Stella Maru is a Japanese trawler deliberately sunk in 1987 to be an artificial reef. The wreck lies upright on a sand bottom which makes it very spectacular, even more so in the eyes of those doing a wreck dive for the first time. The wreck is in great shape and on board you can see anglerfish, parrotfish, leaf fish and two giant moray eels who have made their home here. All around, there is a coral garden where you can see clams, big octopus and clownfish in anemones.   Water Lily and Emily Depth: 22 - 26 m Water Lily and Emily are two barges scuttled in 1987 to be artificial reefs. These two wrecks have grown to be very rich in fish life and many different species can be seen on and around the barges, namely a lot of lionfish, batfish, scorpionfish and stonefish for instance. There is an electric ray around and just next to the wrecks are a few tyres in which some very friendly moray eels have settled.   Corsair Wall Depth: 33 - 40 m This is a deep dive around the upper plateau of a drop-off, with a huge anchor resting beautifully at 33m with its thick chain falling further down on the wall of the drop-off and going up to a depth of 65m. Here you can see big kingfish, tuna, rays and sometimes a visiting shark.   Silver Star Depth: 30 - 40 m This site makes a truly fantastic wreck dive. The Silver Star was sunk in 1992 to make an artificial reef. The most impressive aspect is no doubt that the wreck sits upright on the part reef and sandy bottom. It shelters some very diverse species such as barracudas, scorpionfish, angelfish and others.   Gunner's Quoin: The Wall Depth: 10 - 35 m On the left of Gunner's Quoin island in the north of Mauritius, there is a magnificent wall covered in gorgonians, with beautiful casts rising up to the surface and sheltering a reef fauna including big parrotfish which are seen at each dive. In addition, here there are also further species of interest such as large rays, tunas, snappers and schools of small barracudas.
