About This Dive Spot
Raunglap is the site of a Taiwanese wreck that was confiscated by the Mauritian government to create an artificial reef. The wreck, measuring 34 meters in length, rests at a depth of 27 meters on a sandy bottom. Within the cockpit, a moray eel has made its home, often venturing down into the engine room. The dive concludes at a drop-off, providing a transition from the wreck to the surrounding marine environment.
