KT Mawa Wreck

The KT Mawa Wreck is a mid-depth wreck dive located off the west–northwest coast of Mauritius, near Trou aux Biches. This former vessel was intentionally sunk to create an artificial reef and now rests between 14 and 28 m, offering a rewarding and accessible wreck experience.

The wreck attracts a lively mix of reef fish, macro species and occasional pelagic visitors. Its depth range and compact structure make it suitable for intermediate divers and confident beginners accompanied by a guide.

A Compact and Accessible Wreck

The KT Mawa lies on a sandy seabed, partially intact and easy to navigate. The hull and remaining superstructure provide clear points of interest, while the open layout allows divers to explore safely without entering confined spaces.

A Mid-Depth Profile for a Wide Range of Divers

With depths from 14 to 28 m, the site offers flexibility. The shallower sections are ideal for training and relaxed exploration, while the deeper areas provide a more atmospheric experience with soft light and open blue water.

Marine Life Around the Wreck

The wreck has developed into a thriving artificial reef. Snappers, goatfish and fusiliers gather around the structure, while scorpionfish, lionfish and moray eels hide in the metal framework. Macro enthusiasts can find nudibranchs, shrimps and other small species along the corroded surfaces.

Clear Water and Strong Visual Appeal

The visibility typical of the Trou aux Biches area highlights the wreck’s lines and the contrast between metal, sand and open water. The site’s depth and structure make it a favourite for photographers seeking clean, well-lit wreck shots.
