Albion sits on the west coast of Mauritius and is served by a large number of dive operators, making it one of the more logistically straightforward areas to dive on the island. All sites are boat-access only. The site mix covers shallow reef for beginners through to two wrecks, Tug II and the deeper Kei Sei 113, which rests at around thirty to thirty-five metres and requires a deep-dive qualification. Nurse sharks, green sea turtles, giant moray, reef stonefish, and bluefin trevally are among the species recorded. Visibility can reach forty metres at sites like Sweet Lips.
