Mauritius Underwater Hockey – All the Latest Updates

If you’ve ever wondered what underwater hockey looks like on a tropical island, you’re in the right spot. Mauritius has taken the sport from a niche hobby to a buzzing community, and we’re here to break down what’s happening right now. From local league matches to training camps that draw players from South Africa, there’s a lot to keep an eye on.

First off, the island’s clear waters give players a natural advantage. Visibility is great, which means faster passes and more exciting gameplay. The main venues are the Beau Bassin pool complex and the newer facility at Grand Baie, both equipped with the standard 25x15 meter pitch and all‑black goals. If you’re planning to catch a game, these spots are where the action lives.

Why Mauritius is becoming a hub for underwater hockey

The surge in interest started around 2018 when the Mauritius Sports Council rolled out a grassroots program in schools. Kids got their first training kits, and coaches from South Africa volunteered to run clinics. Within three years, the nation fielded its first senior team to compete in the African Championships, pulling off a respectable third‑place finish.

Another driver is the tourism boost. Visitors love the novelty of watching a sport that happens completely below the surface. Several resorts now offer “underwater hockey nights” where tourists can watch a friendly match after dinner. This mix of local passion and tourist exposure has created a steady stream of sponsorship, allowing clubs to upgrade equipment and travel for regional tournaments.
