As a diving experience Mauritius offers the enjoyable, rather than the spectacular. However, there is an allure about the island that, when combined with the subtropical underwater scene and the presence of gold standard hotels, Mauritius offers a luxurious, and unique, package. Topside, you will find lush vegetation, a sandy coastline, coral-circled lagoons and fascinating fauna, whilst underwater the scenery is defined by different currents to those that fuel the Maldives, and divers regularly encounter big pelagics.

Just 129 kilometres square, the remote island of Rodrigues offers escapists a world of essentially simple pleasures. Lying 650 kilometres east of Mauritius and relatively new as a tourist destination, Rodrigues offers fascinating flora and fauna and exceptional diving.

Encircled by spectacular coral reefs and free from pollution, Rodrigues dive sites are rated as being amongst the best in the Indian Ocean. Home to several species of endemic tropical flora and fauna, this small island will fascinate the nature lover, seeking peace and tranquility off the beaten path. Of volcanic origin the island's profile is mountainous, with steep ravines opening onto stunning bays and numerous creeks.
