Diving

Mauritius waters boast several diving spots of incomparable interest and beauty. PADI certified diving centres can be found all around the island and in most major beach hotels. The Mauritius Underwater Group (MUG) is a favourite meet among expatriate diving fans.

Driving

People in Mauritius drive on the left-hand side of the road and give way to the right. Non-nationals with a driving license issued by a competent authority in their respective countries are allowed to drive during their stay in Mauritius. Mauritius laws severely reprimand driving under the influence of alcohol.

Eating out

Mauritius has a wide choice of gourmet restaurants, serving exquisite local Creole food to a wide mix of fine international cuisine. They are generally competitively priced and the most reputable ones can get pretty packed at times. It is advisable to make a booking.

Economy

The Mauritian economy is one of the fastest growing in sub-Saharan Africa. In just three decades, the country has moved from a monocrop sugar-dominated economy to a sophisticated and diversified services oriented one. The services sector currently accounts for 70% of GDP.
