Shivala

Shivala is a local dive site near Tamarin, Flic en Flac and Grande Rivière Noire on Mauritius’ west coast. The area around the site features typical Mauritian coastal conditions with sandy substrata giving gentle entry points and calm, clear conditions most days. Depths vary within a shallow to mid-depth range, with the possibility of small reef formations, rocky outcrops, and patches of seagrass in surrounding habitats. The site suits divers seeking a straightforward dive close to the resort belt, with relaxed drift opportunities and a chance to observe common tropical reef life such as damselfish, parrotfish and wrasse, along with occasional larger fish from the offshore pelagic zone. Local centers offer guided dives, equipment rental and shore-based access; always dive within certification limits and current local guidance.
