Fisherman's Cove Reef Dive

4° 36.8′ S · 55° 25.3′ E · approximate

A shallow coral reef at 6-14 m off Bel Ombre's Fisherman's Cove, with white-tip reef sharks, groupers, turtles, octopus, striped shrimpfish, leather corals, golden trevally and seasonal mobula rays.

Practical

Coordinate derived: about 230 m offshore of the Le Méridien Fisherman's Cove resort at the west end of Beau Vallon bay (resort position from Wikivoyage; coastline from OSM), assuming the reef takes the cove's name; it is not a published dive-site position. Big Blue Divers 'normal distance' site. Koray Lekol (6-18 m) is a similar reef dive on the same list. Do not anchor on the reef: the yacht anchorage is on sand off the main beach outside the swimming buoys.
