Dive-site story
Located off the northern flank of Pigeon Island within the Réserve Cousteau, this site features a steep vertical drop-off cloaked in giant tube sponges and sea whips. Divers drift along the volcanic rock face while schools of pelagics pass in the blue. The shallow reef plateau at the top provides a calm area for safety stops amid dense coral heads.
Steep volcanic wall covered in colorful sponges and gorgonian fans
Frequent encounters with hawksbill and green sea turtles feeding along the drop-off
Schools of creole wrasse and bar jacks patrolling the edge into the open blue
