Eagle Paradise - Grand Lagoon

Eagle Paradise sits comfortably in New Caledonia's Grand Lagoon, a solid spot for an intermediate diver. It’s not going to blow your mind with dramatic topography, but the max depth of 23m means you get decent bottom time to look around. We usually find a good number of eagle rays gliding through, often in small groups, which is always a treat. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff, too; the sandy patches around the coral bommies often host pipefish and garden eels. It’s a relaxed dive, good for photographers or anyone wanting to just cruise and watch the lagoon life unfold.
