Stella Maru, Wreck

Stella Maru is a wreck dive site that lies in shallow to moderate depths off the coastline near Trou aux Biches. The wreck sits in saltwater conditions typical of the region, with clear tropical visibility common to Mauritian waters. The structure rests with its hull oriented horizontally, providing easy swim-through opportunities and exposed decks for exploration. Expect to see a range of reef-associated species using the wreck as a habitat, including small groupers, bannerfish, moray eels, parrotfish, and snapper, with invertebrates like sponges and anemones encrusting the metal surfaces. Depths are suitable for trained recreational divers with standard wreck awareness; currents are usually mild but can be stronger near the wreck in windy conditions. Access from nearby coastal centers is straightforward and the site is typically visited as part of a broader wreck-dive itinerary in the area.
