Little Swiss

Little Swiss is one of our favourites for a relaxed dive along the west coast. It’s a shallow, vibrant spot, perfect for shaking off any pre-dive jitters or just enjoying a long, easy bottom time. You’re looking at a maximum depth of around 12 metres, often less, so the light penetration is incredible, really making the corals pop. We love the staghorn formations here, they’re dense and provide great shelter for a lot of smaller fish. Keep an eye out for Blackspot wrasse flitting between the branches and the striking colours of parrotfish grazing on the reef. The real joy here is taking your time, letting your eyes adjust, and watching the little details. We've often spotted Mimic Blennies popping out of their holes and even the shy Ghost Moray. If you’re lucky, a Hawksbill or Green turtle might cruise by, completely unfazed. Visibility is usually fantastic, often pushing 20 metres or more, making it easy to just drift and soak it all in. It’s a gentle introduction to Mauritian diving, but with enough activity to keep even seasoned divers happy.
