Dive sites

The dive sites are all located between 5 and 10 minutes maximum from the diving center.

Starting from Trou aux Biches, the access opens on magnificent diving spots, between Pointe aux Piments and Pointe aux Canonniers. The area is known to be well protected from the wind. It is therefore possible to dive there all year round.

A little further east, around Grand Baie, one can also access pleasant sites. There are wrecks, drop offs and rocky outcrops. The corals are in excellent health. It is also an area where the underwater fauna and flora are rich and varied.
