ScubaCaribe Mauritius

ScubaCaribe Mauritius is a PADI 5 Star dive center located at the RIU Creole resort in Le Morne, offering direct access to one of the island’s most scenic and clear-water coastlines.

With consistently warm and transparent conditions beneath the dramatic Mount Le Morne Brabant, this center provides a relaxed yet highly professional diving environment for both new and experienced divers.

An exceptional southwest-coast setting

The dive center sits on Point Sud Ouest, a stretch of white sand and turquoise lagoon framed by the UNESCO-listed Le Morne mountain. The southwest coast is known for its superb visibility and vibrant marine life, giving divers immediate access to reef systems, sandy plateaus and deeper channels just minutes from the beach. The natural protection of the bay makes the area ideal for training dives, while the open-water sites nearby offer thrilling opportunities for those seeking more adventure.

Dive experiences unique to ScubaCaribe Mauritius

ScubaCaribe’s location allows divers to reach several signature sites with ease. Among the most famous is Pass St. Jacques, a celebrated drift dive where currents carry divers through clouds of barracuda, trevallies and grey reef sharks. The region also features the Hoi Siong No. 6 wreck, a large vessel that has become a living reef, attracting schools of fish and making for an atmospheric, memorable dive. Reefs closer to the resort offer gentle conditions suitable for first-timers, families and relaxed holiday divers. Throughout these outings, instructors are praised for choosing appropriate sites and adapting the pace of each dive to skill level and comfort.
