Experience Mauritius…Part 2

In our last blog, we suggested places and activities for those looking for peace and quiet in Mauritius. However, the island is much more than just a pretty face. Welcome to the wild and exciting side of Mauritius.


Diving
All you need to enjoy the exquisite underwater life of Mauritius is a swim-suit! But if you are more on the hardcore side of diving, then you might want to enjoy the marine environment with skin-diving masks and flippers, scuba diving equipment, small discovery submarines and sub-scooters. Diving in Mauritius is one of many pleasurable natural experiences, as marine life conceals countless beautiful creatures and underwater landscapes, be it the crystal-clear lagoons or the magnificent coral beds that are inhabited by bright colourful fish and moray eels.
There are 52 diving centres in Mauritius operating on 35 diving sites around the island. These sites include Coin de Mire (North), Passe Saint-Jacques (South), Passe du
Puits (East) and Cathedral (West). On the North coast and the East coast, there are specialized centers for nondivers who want to enjoy underwater life through undersea walks, sub scooter excursions or submarine trips.

Sky diving

Nothing screams ‘Extreme’ louder than plane engines flying at over 15,000 feet. That’s the usual height for sky diving. Sky diving is a new activity in Mauritius, giving visitors the chance to enjoy the magnificent views of the islands while experiencing one of the most exhilarating feeling in the world.

Deep sea fishing
There are countless fish species that can be found in Mauritius including blue and black marlins, sharks, tuna and bonito. Fishing boats can be hired from most of the hotels around the island. You can also participate in one of many deep sea fishing competitions that are held annually. The main fishing centres are in Rivière-Noire, Le Morne, Flic-en-Flac, Trou-aux-Biches and Grand-Baie.

Whether you’re there to relax and enjoy the scenery or you’re seeking an exhilarating vacation filled with Adrenaline-pumping activities, Mauritius has something specific for you.
