Sheltered Mauritius reef with easy access
A local north-coast operator makes the boat run and site timing straightforward.
Confetti Bay is a sheltered north-coast Mauritius reef with a shallow profile, coral patches, and dense tropical fish life. It is the kind of site people use for training, relaxed repeat dives, and easy water when they want colour and macro without a hard swim. The appeal is a calm bay feel with enough fish traffic to stay interesting.
