We have been on board of the subscooter last time, what an original activity... We have loved the dive and all Blue Safari Team was at our attention... I was a bite afraid whan my husband told me that we are going to the subscooter but I was reassured by the team either at welcome desk or at the subscooter... More

Not a deep dive on the scooter, but worth the experience. If you are getting there from other parts of the island, do note travel time.

We had very nice view life under sea. As it was first experience of submarine for me and my wife, we enjoyed it a lot. They were taking few security precautions and I am not sure if it is adequate. I do not have any idea about security precautions under sea. The cost involved for submarine dive was quite expensive.... More

I didn't like this experience. I didn't see nothing in the underwater and i wanted to finish the ride. It's very expansive too.

We are sincerely sorry that you have not appreciated being in our submarine. That day the sea was more restless than usual and the bottom of the sea changed quickly from your arriving and the dive. We advised our customers and you had the possibility to postpone your trip (which you did not). In case the visibility is really not... More

As a profession sailor and engineer Class 1 marine Chief I am very much aware of the safety factors and risqués involved in this type of activity. I found the submarine old and not in such a good a condition and definitly not what is in the brochure.The marine life is still developing and will take a few more years... More

Our submarine are yearly controlled by Classification Society after our yearly maintenance where all parts are dismantled for inspection. Every three month our submarine is out of the water for 2 or 3 days for preventive maintenance and they are in good safety condition. Every year, our submarines have to be checked to be certified and allowed to dive. Regarding... More

Really Disappointed with the blue safari submarine overall. Its nothing like they advertise it to be, you see hardly any coral and minimal fish. The submarine is cramped and uncomfortable. It's way overpriced for what you get. I would never recommend it to anyone unless they just want the novelty factor of going in a submarine.

We are really sorry that you haven’t enjoyed our attraction ... It is precisely the experience of submarine that is the most exciting for our clients. The submarine is prepared to receive people at our best possible, but it is indeed a very special machine so we can not equip it with airplane sits. Concerning the fishes, as you know... More

I ordered the private submarine as part of my 6th anniversary gift for my gf. Having lived in Mauritius for a while, I always wanted to give it a shot. So I ordered the private submarine (in the BS600) trip with champagne. Submarine: Although the submarine can carry 5 people, we were quite snug with 3 people in it (us... More

I was in Mauritius on business and had decided I was gonna get on the blue safari before I had left my country. I managed to convince my four colleagues whom I had travelled with to come with me. I must say even though I have a water phobia it was a great experience to go underwater. It was my... More
