Desroches Drop and Reef Caves
5° 42.5′ S · 53° 41.4′ E · approximate
Desroches' ocean-side fringing reef, 3-7 m deep, is cut with caverns, tunnels and sinkholes, and its south-east slope, the 'Desroches Drop', plunges past 1,000 m within 2-3 km.
Practical
Dive through the resort's dive centre by arrangement; there is no independent operator. A submerged reef platform 1-3 km wide forms the broken atoll rim around the 25 m-deep lagoon. Coordinate is approximate: off the SE shore of the OpenStreetMap outline.
Best for
Cave-and-tunnel reef dives and a deep drop-off
