About Stella Maru Wreck
Stella Maru Wreck is a boat-access wreck dive in Mauritius where a Japanese trawler now sits upright on the sand beside reef structure. The site is a strong photography and marine-life dive, with enough shape and relief to make the exterior circuit interesting without turning into a casual reef drift.
