Best for advanced divers, 24-39m, boat entry, mild current.
The Silver Star Wreck is an artificial reef located 2000 metres off the coast of Grand Baie. Resting at depths between 24 and 39 metres, this site is strictly for advanced divers due to the significant depth and overhead environment. The wreck structure provides a complex topography for exploration, with visibility ranging from 10 to 25 metres. Divers should expect mild currents and must manage gas consumption carefully, as the depth limits bottom time. A boat is required to reach the site, and divers should be prepared for thermoclines. Species recorded around this area include various moray eels, lionfish, and angelfish, which have colonised the surrounding reef environment.

Gas planning is critical here: the 39-metre bottom means bottom time at depth burns through a recreational cylinder fast, so plan your penetration for the shallower sections first and ascend with plenty of reserve. Check locally for current operator conditions and whether a dive guide familiar with the wreck's interior layout is available.
