Oasis

Oasis (22M) is a northern coastal site in Mauritius commonly shown on north‑coast rosters and listed with a working depth of approximately 22 metres. The feature is typically included in morning two‑dive runs from Grand Baie / Cap Malheureux and is valued for its varied reef structure and comfortable recreational bottom time at that depth.

Because the site sits around 22 m, it offers a step up from shallow training sites while remaining within standard recreational limits for certified divers; conditions depend on tide and wind, so operators choose the site according to sea state and the group’s certification levels.

Location

Oasis lies off the northern coast of Mauritius near Grand Baie and Cap Malheureux and is accessed exclusively by boat from north‑coast departure points such as Grand Baie, Cap Malheureux or Bain Boeuf. The site is part of the Rivière du Rempart district dive roster.

Dive Profile

The listed working depth is approximately 22 metres, with a profile that typically includes patch reefs, ledges and small bommies offering comfortable bottom time for recreational divers. Expect a standard descent and ascent profile with no planned decompression for typical recreational profiles, but always follow your dive computer and guide instructions.

Marine Life

Oasis supports typical north‑coast reef fauna: reef fish, schools of fusiliers, wrasse, occasional rays and juvenile sharks, plus abundant invertebrates in crevices. Sightings vary by season and current strength, and the site is suitable for macro and wide‑angle photography when visibility is good.

Difficulty and Recommended Experience

The site is generally rated intermediate: suitable for Open Water divers who are comfortable to 22 m and for Advanced divers seeking a relaxed reef dive. Currents are usually mild but can increase complexity; less experienced divers should dive under close guide supervision.
