Diving Safari's
Our Safari excursion dives generally involve 2 dives on a half day basis. Included in the activity is snacks, drinks, two dives and the fare. The Safari dives are one of our best activities and dive spots, not only because of the unusual dive sites, but also for the atmosphere at the foot of these amazing Islands.
The Coin de Mire Island Safari is about 15 minutes boat trip. It’s an Island of about 108 meters high and 1.5km circumference although not round at all. The Coin de Mire Island Safari is a half day trip with 2 dives (8h15 – 13h30). The great thing about diving on Flat Island or Coin de Mire Island is that the visibility is almost always very good. Also, there are less diving traffic, which promotes wellness of fauna and flora even more that on the dives we regularly visit near the Mauritian shores. There are 5 dive sites all around Gunners Island. The most planned is the Djabeda wreck which was sunk about 16 years ago, and the famous confetti bay for its amazing fauna and flora. Drinks and snacks are included in the safari, within the boat as the Island does not allow boat access. However, a tour down the southern side of the Island with the boat is done at the end of the activity. Make sure to bring sunscreen, sun glasses and a hat, and take preliminary precautions from sea sickness as medications.

The Round Island Safari is a half day trip with 2 dives, drinks and snacks, and is a great day (6h45 – 15h00). We depart from Pereybere at 7h30. The boat trip takes around 30-45 minutes. The first dive is done on terra Canyon which is a spectacular coral reef where jacks, rays and rays can be seen. The second dive is on Cathedral, which is a spectacular structure with ecclesiatical overtones. There were at one time sharks here, but for the past year we have seen them very infrequently, as their food source has been fished out. In addition the entire crop of 50 young reef sharks were taken by a Fishing Trawler, and decimated. Make sure to bring sunscreen, sun glasses and a hat on this trip and take preliminary precautions from sea sickness as medications.
