Aquarium

Aquarium is exactly what it sounds like, a perfectly contained, vibrant dive. We love this site for its sheer abundance of small, colourful reef fish, making it a proper joy for photographers and anyone just wanting to relax and soak it all in. You’ll settle onto a sandy bottom at around 12 metres, watching schools of Clouded Rainbowfish shimmer past and the bold yellows of Flameback Angelfish darting between the coral heads. Our favourite time to visit is when a gentle current is running; it really brings out the Blackside Hawkfish and Banded-tail Coral-cod, who seem to enjoy the activity. Keep an eye out for Ambon Pufferfish and Dwarf Morays tucked into crevices. While the occasional turtle or eagle ray might glide by in the blue, the real show here is at eye-level, among the corals. It’s an easy, shallow dive, perfect for newer divers building confidence or experienced divers who just want an easy, unhurried tour of Mauritius's smaller, charming residents.
