The highlight of the trip was the Seakart experience where one could be captain of the boat and enjoy the pleasures of guiding it around the lagoon even without a boat permit!  The Seakart is a very stable boat which is very easy to operate and very safe. A one of its kind experience was the Submarine Dive being run by Blue Safari. The agents enjoyed a dream adventure going underwater to a depth of 35 metres.  Seeing a shipwreck, exploring the rich coral reefs of Mauritius, and observing and encountering various species of fish were parts of the Submarine trip.
