About Avion Cessna 188
Avion Cessna 188 is a boat-access wreck dive in Port-Louis, with a small aircraft resting on the reef edge and now covered in coral growth and reef life. The wreck sits upright on a shallow-to-moderate profile and functions as shelter for a lively mix of fish around the coral boundary. It is a straightforward guided wreck stop rather than a deep technical dive, but buoyancy and careful finning still matter around the wreck and reef edge.

Watch your buoyancy around the wreck and reef edge, where coral and structure can snag careless finning.

Legal Notes
The wreck sits in the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin protected area, so park and marine-reserve rules apply.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The wreck is shallow enough for recreational divers and is best treated as a controlled buoyancy wreck stop on the reef edge.
Freediving
Not a natural freedive target; the wreck depth and structure make scuba the practical choice.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel site in the usual sense. Snorkelling may be possible from the boat support area, but the wreck itself is a scuba dive.
