15 Take an Undersea Walk: Don a divers’ helmet and walk on the sandy
bottom of a lagoon in the north of Mauritius to discover the island’s
amazing underwater world after a motorboat transfer from Grand Baie.
You don’t even need to be able to swim. The helmets are fed fresh air
from solar-powered electric compressors.
16 Scoot around in a Subscooter: Share the experience of riding below
the waves in a Subscooter with your partner and discover the marine
flora and fauna of Mauritius. Easy to pilot, the underwater scooter has a
steering wheel, two accelerator pedals and a single button to dive or go
up to the surface.
17 Do a skydive: Take a leap into the void and enjoy exceptional views
of Mauritius from on high. Starting with a 25- minute flight up to 3,000
metres for aerial sightseeing across the island’s north, it’s then time for a
tandem jump with an experienced instructor for a heart-racing one-
minute freefall until the parachute opens for a five-minute descent.
18 Flyn’Dive: Soar and swoop over the waves on a jet of water at Grand
Baie, with no prior experience. A certified and experienced instructor
explains how it works during a full safety briefing you strap into the
Flyn’Dive-Board and a swim vest. The Flyn’Dive board is connected to
a powerful water pump by a hose, creating a water jet that will lift you
softly or send you soaring into the air.
