Silver Star Wreck

The Silver Star Wreck is a lesser-known but atmospheric wreck dive on the northern coast of Mauritius. Resting between 20 and 30 m, the wreck offers a deeper, more adventurous profile than many nearby reef sites.

The structure has developed into a thriving artificial reef, attracting schools of fish, macro life and occasional pelagic visitors. Its depth and metal framework make it best suited to intermediate and advanced divers.

A Wreck with Character and Atmosphere

The Silver Star lies on a sandy seabed, partially intact and tilted slightly to one side. The hull, deck lines and remaining superstructure create a dramatic silhouette, offering divers clear points of interest and strong photographic angles.

A Deeper Profile for Confident Divers

With depths ranging from 20 to 30 m, the site requires good buoyancy control and awareness of no-decompression limits. The deeper sections of the wreck are particularly atmospheric, with soft light and open blue water surrounding the structure.

Marine Life Around the Wreck

The wreck attracts a healthy mix of marine species. Snappers, goatfish and fusiliers gather around the hull, while lionfish, scorpionfish and moray eels hide in the metal framework. Macro enthusiasts can find nudibranchs, shrimps and other small creatures along the corroded surfaces.

Clear Water and Strong Visual Appeal

The northern-coast visibility enhances the wreck’s dramatic lines and the contrast between metal, sand and open water. The site’s depth and structure make it a rewarding dive for photographers and wreck lovers.

A Wreck Dive for Intermediate and Advanced Divers

The Silver Star Wreck offers a deeper, more atmospheric alternative to the region’s shallower reef dives. Its structure, marine life and depth profile make it a memorable site for divers seeking a slightly more challenging wreck experience.
