Dive-site story
Set within the UNESCO-listed Bourail barrier reef lagoon, Sentier sous-marin de Poé is an established educational underwater trail. Numbered buoys guide snorkelers and novice divers across a protected marine reserve rich in pristine coral formations and seagrass meadows. Because the lagoon is sheltered from open-ocean swell by the outer barrier reef, conditions are typically calm, making it ideal for relaxed exploration and marine biology observation.
