Why dive here
With 657+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue sharks, blue-spotted stingrays and bull sharks - Eagle Paradise offers some of Grand Lagoon's richest diving.
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.
