Top Submarine Experience in Mauritius – Safe, Unique & Family-Friendly
Ever wondered what it’s like at the bottom of the ocean — without getting wet or needing a diving license?
That’s exactly what this submarine experience is all about. After a 15 mins shuttle boat ride to the submarine base, you hop aboard the BS 1100 Submarine, take your seat by your own viewing window, and slowly descend 35 metres under the sea.
During this 40-minute dive, you will see coral reefs, the fantastic Star Hope wreck, a 17th-Century sheet anchor, and all along the way, myriads of colourful fish like the surgeonfish, capitaine or kingfish. It’s a bit surreal — like something out of a documentary, but you’re in it. And the pilot? Super friendly, and happy to point out interesting things as you go.
At the end, you come back to the surface feeling like you’ve seen something pretty special — and you get a certificate to prove it. It’s a great souvenir, especially for kids or first-timers.
Whether you're travelling with your family, your partner, or just on your own, this is one of those things that makes a holiday feel unique. Easy, safe, and genuinely memorable — it’s not every day you get to explore the deep sea in a real submarine...

The BS 1100 is built just like those iconic submarines you’ve seen in the movies – with your own little window to peek into the underwater world. Inside, there’s even a live TV feed showing the submarine diving, filmed right from the deck!
And if you’re into cool mechanics, you’ll love watching the pneumatic valves in action as they manage the ballast system – it’s pretty mesmerising.
