Sea Fan Valley

Seafan Valley is a deep reef dive located on the east coast of Mauritius, continuing directly after the site known as Long Cliff. With depths between 22 and 30 m, the site reveals a spectacular valley lined with large sea fans and gorgonians.

This dive is often planned as a multi‑level profile, allowing divers to explore the upper cliff before gliding along the gorgonian walls. The site is rich in marine life and offers a peaceful, atmospheric deep‑reef experience.

A Valley of Sea Fans

The site is named for the impressive gorgonians that cover the walls of the drop‑off. Their size and density create a dramatic underwater landscape, especially when viewed while drifting along the slope.

Seasonal Encounters

During the winter months, divers have increased chances of encountering dolphins in the area, adding an exciting element to the dive.
