Mauritius wreck dive with strong structure and marine life.

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. Plan it as a disciplined wreck dive rather than a place to rush or push penetration.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight on the wreck and treat any penetration as an overhead route for qualified divers only.
Access Restrictions
Boat-only wreck dive; the exterior suits guided divers, while any penetration should stay limited to wreck-trained teams.
Legal Notes
Use a local operator that respects the wreck depth and certification limits, and do not plan the site as a casual shore dive.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The exterior wreck circuit is the main draw for buoyancy and photography; limited penetration only for qualified wreck divers.
Freediving
Not a freedive target; the wreck sits too deep for a relaxed apnea profile.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel site; the interesting structure is well below the surface.
