Practical

Position not published: the coordinate is the same derived open-water point off Beau Vallon used for the wrecks, NOT the reef. Big Blue Divers lists it among its 'normal distance' sites (boat ride under about 15 minutes). The 3 m top makes it suitable for beginners and second dives; nearby Auberge Rocks/Reef (6-16 m) is also snorkellable. Dive with a licensed local dive centre.

Best for

Shallow second dive or beginner reef dive
