Dodo Divers enjoys a beneficial location from where access to numerous dive sites is relatively easy. Towards the northeast, some of the famous sites are Merville's Patches, Grand Baie Aquarium, Anemone Garden and the amazing Silver Star Wreck. The main build stands on the beach inside which you can find wash tanks, changing facilities and a large table along with other features like a teaching room, a soundproof compressor room, equipment storage rooms and washing vats and a shower and bathroom.

The Dive Boat
The dive boat is a 39 feet newly built Legend with two powerful 300 horsepower engines and features a sun shelter, echo-sounder and GPS along with toilet and freshwater amenities. Before setting off to the waters, it is perfectly arranged with ample amount of room for keeping the equipment and putting the kit on. It can hold up to 14 people, and it is still comfortable for everyone, and you can enjoy a laidback ride.

Equipment
The equipment that is available in Dodo Divers is the Bauer air compressor, Nitrox mixer, aluminium and steel tanks (single or double). You can also rent recreational, technical and side-mount equipment.

There are some diving sites for you to choose from; however, we have listed some of the best ones that you should check out and here are they:

1. Merville's Patches - Grand Baie and Pereybere Reefs

In this dive, you will find a series of coral reefs and numerous fishes. This site is unique for housing a large mass of Moray eels, which can be seen almost under every rock. Other rare aquatic species that you can find here are the magenta coloured Leaf Fish, the black Anemone Fish and the Anemone Crab.

2. Shark Safari - Round Island and Snake Island

Unlike as the names suggest, the Round Island isn't round, and you wouldn't find any snakes in the Snake Island; although you find some snakes in Round Island. Both the islands can be reached from the northeast coast after an hour of the boat ride. However, what is interesting about the waters surrounding these islands is the abundance of sharks, namely the White Tip sharks and the Grey Reef sharks are seen to be cruising in the waters dominated by the giant corals. If you have a knack for scuba diving, then you must not miss this at any cost!

3. Silver Star Wreck - Grand Baie and Pereybere Reefs

Known to be the only shipwreck to have retained its integrity up to a great extent, the Silver Star can be found at a depth of 42 meters under Mauritian waters. This dive is special on its own because of its historical significance and en route the dive; you can see the giant propeller of the ship, abundance of aquatic species on the deck and the hard coral formed on the mast and the lines of colourful fishes rushing inside-out of the windows is just mesmerising to see.

4. Grand Baie Aquarium - Grand Baie and Pereybere Reefs

It is a comparatively a shallow dive with a depth of 13 metres. The sunlight creates a beautiful translucent setting, helping you to discover the species like Trumpetfish and baby Crocodile fish and the most vibrant looking purplish-red Anemone is the major attraction of this dive which are barrel-like huge creatures with a silky smooth, velvety body.
