Dive-site story
Located off the northwest coast of Mauritius near Mont Choisy, 3 Anchors takes its name from historical maritime relics embedded along a sandy seabed interspersed with coral bommies. Divers navigate between coral outcrops and wide sand patches where historical naval anchors have encrusted over decades, creating artificial micro-habitats for diverse reef creatures.
Three historical anchors heavily encrusted with soft corals and sponges
Green sea turtles feeding and resting across sprawling sandy channels
Expansive coral bommies sheltering macro life and schools of juvenile reef fish
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
