La Passe du Puits is a current-driven boat dive on Mauritius' east coast.
La Passe du Puits is a Mauritius east-coast drift dive where boats launch divers into a lagoon exit and let the current carry the group through a reef channel. The site combines coral gardens, sea fans, schooling fish, and open-water predators, so the dive feels more like a controlled glide than a static reef stop. Good trim, compact spacing, and a clear pickup plan matter more than route-finding.
