Al Fish Rock
rating : 4.0
description :
Dive in the open sea, 700 meters from the nearest island. Walls ranging from 8 to 20 meters, with a zebra shark lying on the sandy bottom (over 2.5 meters long). Schools of trevally and platax, as well as various reef fish, mostly at 8-10 meters. Also three eagle rays, but above all the presence, just below the surface, of thousands of jellyfish which, fortunately, are not stinging.

Zebra Corner
rating : 4.0
description :
Next to the beach of a small island, a shallow dive site on a sandy slope. Large coral patties covered with mostly soft corals, although a few hard ones are also present. All look healthy. Among the fauna, we were particularly impressed by a 2-meter-long zebra shark (beige-green in color, seen through a school of lutjans), as well as a veritable wall of hundreds of small jellyfish. Also two turtles, but above all the presence of schools of hundreds of fish - one of the largest concentrations we've seen to date!

Behind the largest island, a dive site open to the ocean. The current is stronger than on the other sites, and the water temperature is also a little colder. Magnificent relief, accentuated by the presence of mostly soft coral. Lots of reef fish - and jellyfish on the surface. An eagle ray, a turtle lying in the coral and large lobsters.

Barracuda Corner
rating : 3.0
description :
Diving near a rock, on a gentle slope alternating coral and sand. The corals are small, mainly brain corals and anemones. The fauna is varied, and in particular we were able to observe numerous schooling reef fish, such as surgeonfish and hogfish. We also saw moray eels, lionfish, a large porcupine, loaches, devilfish, parrotfish and snapper. And lots of lobsters (between 7-10, of imposing size).

description :
Close to a rock, with a gentle slope on one side and a small wall to the open sea. Beautiful corals, particularly colorful, but rather small... A school of giant cuttlefish, a turtle, a stonefish, lionfish, a black-spotted stingray, lots of moray eels, a porcupine and a pufferfish.

description :
Wall dive - or rather, mound dive. Shallow site, but particularly fishy, with beautiful corals and lots of anemones. A turtle came towards us and let itself be touched. Moray eels, big lobsters, two stonefish, parrotfish, big tuna and, of course, the usual reef dwellers in schools (angelfish, jacks, snapper).

Coral Garden Reef
rating : 2.0
description :
A dive site 300 meters from Barracuda Corner, at shallow depth and on a similar topography. However, this site is significantly less attractive due to the presence of dead coral, probably caused by fishermen (remains of nets were observed on multiple spots). A varied fauna was nevertheless seen: anemones, giant starfish (40 cm diameter), cuttlefish (between 5-7), ray, two flatfish and fusiliers.

description :
This wall, some 100 metres wide, descends to a depth of 21 metres - after which there is simply a flat sandy bottom. Interestingly, while the water at 6-10 metres is full of fish, there's not much at 18-20 metres! A large porcupine, boxfish, lobster, stonefish and, of course, jellyfish.
At the end of the dive, the guide led us into the depths. In fact, he was hoping to come across the stingrays that are sometimes found on this site - the previous year, he had seen a hundred of them together! Too bad we didn't meet them, but we made up for it by coming across a school of barracudas at the end of the dive.
