Scuba Diving Regions in Mauritius
From world-class walls to muck diving havens, discover the unique character of each regional cluster.
Regional Diversity
Diving in Mauritius is possible all year. The peak season is during the Mauritian summer from November to April, when water temperatures reach 26-29°C and the sea is generally at its calmest. This is also the best time for spotting megafauna. The winter months (May to October) are cooler (22-24°C) and can be windier, particularly on the east coast, but offer excellent visibility and fewer crowds.
Planning Tips
Many regions are seasonally dependent. For Mauritius, the best diving conditions are usually spread across different months depending on the archipelago or coast.
