Scuba diving and snorkeling Rodrigues

Three large diving families: dives from the wide (10 sites, depth 30 to 60 meters for experienced divers), coral dives, easy access and varied (15 sites, depth 10 to 25 meters), interior dives of the lagoon, in passes, canyons and other faults, to meet the pants of the pill elagic (6 sites, depth 5 to 30 meters). The staff were very helpful and helpful. The club offers baptisms, explorations and CMAS and PADI formations.

The bay itself is already magnificent. In calm weather, if you're a good swimmer, you can swim directly to the site, aiming for the middle of the bay. There, not far from the coral reef (beware of currents on certain days), is a beautiful natural aquarium with coral still in good condition, attracting a host of colorful fish. To get there by boat, contact Frenchman Frédéric (mob: 5798 2896) or one of the local service providers.

Founded in 1997, this serious and friendly club is located in the Rodrigues Marine Park. It has always been run by Benoît de Baize, a NAUI instructor who knows Rodrigues' underwater waters like the back of his hand and has even cleared a few spots that he reserves exclusively for his divers. A must in the area: exploration of the Grande Passe, one of the longest channels in the Indian Ocean, located almost opposite the club. Groups are small and safe, with a maximum of 6 divers per supervisor (4 for Level 1). Reservations recommended.

Renowned among divers and fans of underwater life, Couzoupa is the pearl of the Rodrigues Marine Park or Marine Biodiversity Conservation Project, a 35 km2 protected area in the heart of the lagoon of Port Sud-Est. Accessible by boat, it is the most beautiful natural aquarium of Rodrigues. Shallow, it abounds in corals, molluscs and reef fish, including rare species. From the silky lips of the clams to the massive Acropora, passing through fields of multicoloured corals foraged by swarms of sergeant majors, the spectacle is everywhere
