Blue Safari Submarines - Mauritius    Share

One of the main attraction of Mauritius is sub marine tour. It is done only 3 countries in world One is in USA another in Australia and lastly in Mauritius. It is once in a lifetime experience. The Blue safari Submarine is the perfect agency for the same. The office is very small but nicely decorated and staff is very nice with the tourists. Must Must visit place.

Short version: If you think this is the only opportunity you will get to get inside a submarine and see some underwater life, go for it. But If you have done similar adventure in the past, or certainly would get a chance in the future, then I would say save your money for something else. Long version: Below average customer service - We were initially booked in for a 11:30am submarine ride. But at about 11:45am we were told that there was a technical problem with 1 of the 2 submarines that they have, and our dive had to be rescheduled to 3pm. We has been there since 10:30am, and there were couple of other groups who came after us, yet they managed to get a ride in the working submarine, whereas we were asked to come back for a ride later in the day! If they knew that they were hitting a snag, they could have easily given us an idea, and saved us some time. We could have done some other local stuff in the same time. What are your expectations - If a ride in a submarine is what you wish to achieve from this, then it will meet your expectations. But if seeing a lot of beautiful fish, corals and other underwater life is what you are expecting then you will be left longing for more. There are very few fish, and not the best of the corals even at a depth of 30m. I have seen many more fish and much better corals in 2m of depth elsewhere. Good sea/submarine crew - The staff working on the boat where the submarine is anchored, and the submarine captain himself are smart and knowledgeable people. I suppose the only enjoyment/fun/information came thru the talk that these guys gave. On the whole, I dont think its really worth the price you pay for this ride.

A unique experience, still it is a short dive where you will travel just a few meters and only see one type of fish. The instructors will give a kind of show where they and also you will feed the fish. After that time is up and you go back up. Good to note, your ears will hurt at the beginning due to the pressure, after a few minutes it should be fine.

The submarine trip was great. The whole experience from the friendly staff to the trip itself was worth while. It's definitely something that should be tried at least once in life.

Once in a lifetime experience with a very good and energetic staff. They make your experience even more rich. Keep at it.
