Deep artificial wreck off Flic en Flac for advanced wreck divers.
Deep artificial wreck off Flic en Flac for advanced wreck divers.
Best handled with a local operator because of the deep, boat-based profile.
The Tian Xiang is a deliberately sunk wreck off Flic en Flac in Mauritius, built as an artificial reef for trained wreck divers. It is a deep boat-access dive with an open profile, broad structure, and a slowly maturing layer of fish life. Plan it as a dedicated wreck charter that rewards patient, buoyancy-conscious diving more than fast sightseeing.
