ORCA Dive Club - Mauritius

Previously, it has only been philatelists whose hearts started racing upon hearing the name Mauritius. The Blue and Red Mauritius are probably the most famous stamps in the world. In future, we expect, however, that the name “Mauritius” will quicken the heartbeat of more and more divers.

FROM THE DEPTH OF THE OCEAN

The Indian Ocean is considered a specifically colourful ocean with a huge diversity of species. The waters around Mauritius are no exception. The African mainland is about 1,700 kilometres away. The island measures roughly 2,000 square kilometres and is of volcanic origin. In practice this means that you can find very spectacular dive sites.

COLOURFUL DIVERSITY, BLAZING LIFE

Especially the dive sites in the north of Mauritius promise unforgettable dives. There are 27 identified dive sites available which are normally accessed by boat. Boat trips take between 10 and 45 minutes. And then you enter the amazing underwater world which presents itself here at its most colourful. Some of the special features on Mauritius include morays which are represented with many species, from the gigantic up to three metres long giant morays up to the brightly coloured yellow-blue ribbon eels.

VISA AND CURRENCY

Travellers from Germany require only their passport to enter Mauritius, however, it has to be valid beyond their travel dates. No visa is required. To simplify the entry formalities, a digital entry form can be created in advance at https://safemauritius.govmu.org/.
