Mauritius is beautiful, spectacularly so, both above and beneath the waves. Though the country is already a dive hotspot, to really enjoy the undersea landscape, to cruise contentedly past stunning reefs and fish of every hue, a ride on a sub-scooter can’t be beaten. Comfortably seated one behind the other, you breathe freely and naturally beneath a broad, domed transparent hood. These allow divers and non-divers alike to enjoy the azure dreamscape of the underwater world and many of the luxurious resorts and hotels on Mauritius' Merville Beach now offer guests a chance to take an unforgettable undersea ride. With a speed of 3mph, they’re perhaps not for the adrenaline nuts out there, but for everyone else, these torpedo-shaped sub-scooters allow an unparalleled glimpse of a marine paradise. The closest you’re likely to get to having your own personal submarine. Enjoy.
