Dive the West Coast

Dive in the West Coast is the first thing to do in Mauritius. Mauritius is encircled by a magnificent lagoon, and its shallow waters are themselves incredibly lovely. The lagoon's reefs also provide fantastic diving opportunities. The west coast of Mauritius features a drop-off where the lagoon meets the open ocean and waves that break near the horizon. This area is home to an incredible variety of marine life. Many of the best dives, notably La Cathédrale, where you may observe scuttling lobsters, leave from Flic en Flac.

The longest and busiest beach on the West Coast is Flic en Flac. The majority of dive boats launch from this location. Because of the beach's protection from the brisk southeast wind, swimming, snorkeling, and diving are all ideal there. The town of Flic en Flac provides a variety of lodging options, from luxurious resorts to more reasonably priced Airbnbs. Additionally, it has a wide selection of stores, eateries, and pubs. And following a day of thrilling diving, you can unwind on the beach, take in the beautiful sunset, and even go snorkeling at dusk. The Southern Hemisphere's tropical island of Mauritius only has two seasons. Winter lasts from mid-April to the end of September, and summer lasts from mid-October to mid-April. The cyclone season, which lasts from January to March, causes heavy rain, ferocious gusts, and numerous dives to be postponed. The ideal months to swim in Mauritius waters are May through December. Divers of any skill level will find the west coast's more than 50 dive locations to be excellent. There are many diving sites to select from, regardless of your level of experience.
