Dive Spot Guide•
Lost Anchor
North Mauritius boat dive with anchor, corals, and reef life.

Boat-only site; a north-coast operator is the practical way to reach it and time the conditions.
Guided north-coast boat dive; plan for moderate depth, occasional current, and better comfort on calm sea days.
About Lost Anchor
Lost Anchor is a north Mauritius boat dive off Cap Malheureux for divers who want a compact reef-and-anchor profile with plenty of life in one pass. The site moves across coral-covered rock humps to a central anchor and a small pocket of gorgonians and sea fans, so the route feels varied without being sprawling. It suits guided, mid-depth planning more than casual shore hopping, and the best dives come on calmer north-coast days.

Local Intel For Lost Anchor
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Guided boat dive over coral-covered rock humps, a central anchor, and a small cave pocket. Best for divers comfortable holding trim through a mid-depth profile.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive site; the main structure sits too deep for useful breath-hold exploration.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkeling site. Surface views are limited and the anchor and coral features sit too deep to plan around.
