Merville Aquarium

Merville Aquarium is a local dive site near Cap Malheureux and Grand Baie on Mauritius. The site features a sheltered, shallow dive environment used by local divers for training and recreational dives. Expect calm conditions in protected bays with sandy and rocky patches, occasional artificial structures from adjacent marine facilities, and a generally gentle drift potential in certain lagoons. Marine life is typical of Mauritian coastal sites, including small reef fish, wrasses, and occasional moray eels around rocks. Access is straightforward from nearby towns such as Cap Malheureux and Grand Baie, with short travel times and easy entry from calm shorelines or small piers. This site is suited to entry-level divers, families, and those building buoyancy skills, rather than a destination for long exploratory dives.
