Raunglap is an advanced artificial-reef wreck dive in Belle Mare.
Raunglap is an advanced artificial-reef wreck dive in Belle Mare.
Raunglap is a deliberately sunk Taiwanese wreck on Mauritius east coast, now functioning as an artificial reef. The dive traces the cockpit and engine-room area before leaving the wreck onto the nearby drop-off, so it feels like a compact wreck-to-slope circuit. Marine life is building back on the hull and slope, and the site suits advanced scuba divers who are comfortable with an overhead section and a guided boat profile.
