Long Cliff

Long Cliff is a deep reef wall located off Belle Mare on the east coast of Mauritius. With depths between 18 and 25 m, it forms the upper section of a long drop-off that continues into the site known as Seafan Valley.

The site offers excellent visibility, a dramatic wall profile and a variety of reef life, making it a favourite among advanced divers exploring the east-coast drop-offs.

A Long and Scenic Wall

The site is defined by an extended vertical and semi-vertical wall covered with corals, sponges and the first clusters of gorgonians. The drop-off creates a dramatic sense of depth and scale.

A 18–25 Meter Advanced Profile

Long Cliff is typically dived as the first stage of a multi-level dive, with divers exploring the upper wall before continuing deeper into Seafan Valley. The depth and occasional current make it suitable for advanced divers.

Marine Life Highlights

Parrotfish, snappers, groupers and trevallies are common along the wall. Moray eels hide in crevices, while stingrays and white-tip reef sharks may be seen resting on the sandy patches below.

Excellent Visibility

The east coast often provides clear water and gentle drift conditions, allowing divers to enjoy long, relaxed exploration along the wall.

The Gateway to Seafan Valley

Long Cliff naturally leads into Seafan Valley, where the wall becomes steeper and the gorgonians grow larger and denser. Together, the two sites form one of the most beautiful deep-wall systems on the east coast.
