King Fish

King Fish (Kingfish) is a deep open-ocean dive site located off the northern coast of Mauritius, known for its steep drop-off, blue-water atmosphere and frequent pelagic encounters. The site sits between 40 and 60 m, making it one of the deepest recreational-accessible dives in the region.

This exposed deep-water environment attracts large trevallies, tunas and kingfish, giving the site its name. Due to its depth and conditions, King Fish is reserved for advanced and technical divers with experience in deep profiles and blue-water navigation.

A Steep Drop-Off in Open Water

King Fish lies along a deep reef edge that descends sharply into the open ocean. The topography is simple but dramatic: a sloping wall leading into the blue, with scattered coral growth and sandy patches at depth.

A True Deep-Dive Profile

With depths ranging from 40 to 60 m, the site requires excellent buoyancy control, gas planning and awareness of no-decompression limits. The deeper sections offer soft light, open space and a strong sense of immersion.

Pelagic Encounters

The site is known for its large, fast-moving pelagic species. Schools of trevallies, tunas and kingfish patrol the drop-off, while barracudas and eagle rays occasionally appear. The open-water setting makes every dive unpredictable and exciting.

Clear Water and Blue-Water Atmosphere

The northern-coast visibility enhances the feeling of depth and space. The combination of steep terrain, open blue water and pelagic life makes King Fish a favourite among deep and technical divers.

A Dive for Advanced and Technical Divers

King Fish offers a challenging and rewarding deep-dive experience. Its depth, exposure and pelagic activity make it suitable only for divers with advanced training and experience in deep or technical profiles.
