About Mauritius
Mauritius is an island in the Indian Ocean when choosing boasts of clean white sand beaches. But the sea has strong undercurrents and this may put swimmers into difficulties.
There has been a sharp rise in drownings in recent years. Hence the Mauritius government has started sea surveillance platforms around beaches. But the drownings and deaths have not come down.
The lagoons are the most dangerous spots since the warm and still, water there gives the people indulging in water sports a false sense of security.
