Silver Star Wreck

Silver Star, which was sunk in 1992 to build an artificial reef, rests on the edge of a deep 50-80 meter reef (suitable for Technical Divers). The Silver Star Wreck is 57 meters long and attracts a wide variety of marine species, from batfish (platax) to sting and eagle rays. It is one of the Best Diving Sites in Mauritius.

For those who are qualified, there are plenty of prospects for penetration, but it may also be admired from the sidelines as a spectacular deep dive. The optimum time to dive is from mid-October to mid-May, when the water temperature is between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius (78 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit). The wreck is around 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) off the shore.

The Silver Star Wreck stands on its stern, which is an intriguing feature of this location. A diverse marine species may be found throughout the wreck. Bannerfish and angelfish, as well as a few batfish, barracudas, and trevallies, hover about the hull as your main hosts. Keep a watch out for the hidden and secretive frogfish on the wreck.
