Underwater Adventures - Half Day Submarine + Subscooter + Lunch Full Description

Spend a beautiful half day in the north of Mauritius discovering the underwater world. You will get to enjoy a trip on a submarine and a subscooter ride, taking you closer to the marine life at the coral reefs surrounding that region of the island. To make this trip an even better one, you will get to feast on typical Mauritian food for lunch.

Submarine Trip In Mauritius

Enjoy a dream adventure going underwater to 35 meters depth on board a real submarine. Enjoy a once in a lifetime experience and discover the beautiful marine life and the underwater world of Mauritius!

The submarine activity begins with a pre-departure briefing on land, followed by a speedboat transfer to the main platform where you will board the submarine. Then the submarine will start its descent into the deep sea for a real fantasy adventure trip.

You will cruise along the reef and view the corals from very close, explore the local rich marine life, visit the shipwreck of the famous Star Hope cruiser, and discover a 17th century anchor on the bottom of the ocean.

The submarine is air-conditioned with a fully transparent-glassed cabin so you will enjoy exceptionally clear panoramic views of the extraordinary underwater world. It is designed so each passenger has an individual observation window for viewing outside of the wonderful underwater world.

As part of the submarine trip you will get to visit a shipwreck, explore the rich coral reefs of Mauritius, and observe and encounter various species of fish. You will have an amazing experience when going underwater, staring into the crystal clear Indian Ocean water and discovering the rich sea life deep underwater.

There is also a camera situated on the submarine’s bridge which projects the great views from outside through a TV screen located inside the submarine, giving you an additional view of marine life.

At 35 meters undersea, you will explore the underwater world of Mauritius like on a safari trip and may see a selection of rare species. Apart from the marine life, the sprawling exotic corals make this submarine trip a memorable experience.

The pilots of the submarine are well educated in marine biology and are trained to provide a safe trip to all the travellers.

Underwater Subscooter Adventure

Pilot your own underwater submarine scooter by yourself or as a couple to 3-4 meters depth in full safety, and enjoy a unique experience in the World! You do not need to be a diver or even to know how to swim; all you have to do is to love adventure!

Comfortably seated one behind the other on height adjustable seats, you can breathe normally inside a big broad common transparent and panoramic glass dome and enjoy a 360 degrees panoramic view. Before going on the adventure you will receive a full briefing about the easy control of the subscooter, and will be equipped with a diving suit provided for warmth and full safety.

The subscooter is very easy to pilot, with a steering wheel, two accelerator pedals and a single button to control the depth level. You only need to press the button to dive or to go up to the sea surface, as easy as that.

The air inside the cabin (head cupola) is permanently regenerated, and there is also a backup air system to guarantee your maximum safety. The cabin is also equipped with an alarm button which you can use anytime to draw the attention of the divers which accompany you during your underwater adventure.

You will enjoy a full view of the reef, of Mauritius’ marine life, and will discover its marine flora and fauna. All along the adventure you can communicate with your partner, share your comments and views, and enjoy this experience together. The underwater subscooter excursion starts with a boat trip to the operation platform where you will first be acquainted with the underwater scooter.

All the underwater scooters are approved and certified by the international authorities for design and safety at sea.
