Blue Safari Mauritius - Submarine Experience

Located in Trou aux Biches, Blue Safari offers a rare and enjoyable way to explore Mauritius’ underwater world - inside a real submarine, with no swimming required. As the only leisure submarine operator in the Indian Ocean, it provides a calm and comfortable dive to 35 metres deep.

During the trip, you’ll see colourful fish, corals, sea turtles and the well-known Star Hope shipwreck. It’s a gentle and accessible experience that gives you a closer look at the marine life normally seen only by divers.

The Blue Safari Submarines

Blue Safari operates two small-capacity submarines, making the experience more personal and relaxed. Both submarines are air-conditioned and equipped with individual viewing windows. A camera on the bridge also shows live footage on a screen inside the cabin.

The submarines follow strict international safety standards and are maintained by an experienced technical team, ensuring a safe and smooth dive for guests of all ages.

BS1100 - 10-Seater Submarine

The BS1100 offers comfortable, aircraft-style seating with clear views from every window. During the dive, it brings you to the Star Hope shipwreck, an area known for its diverse marine life.

This submarine provides a calm and family-friendly way to explore the underwater world, with a smooth descent and a relaxed viewing experience suitable for all ages.

BS 600 - 5 seater submarine

The BS600 offers a more private setting, ideal for couples, small families or anyone wanting a quieter experience. Its large front window provides a wide and clear view of the ocean floor.

Depending on conditions, the BS600 explores the Star Hope wreck or another nearby reef area.
