Why dive here
With 147+ marine species recorded in the area - including dugongs, eagle rays, great white sharks, humpback whales and manta rays - Le Banc de Sable offers some of Isle of Pines's richest reef diving.
Le Banc de Sable delivers exactly what the name suggests: a vast, bright sandbank perfect for spotting flatworms, gobies, and maybe a resting ray if you're lucky. The real draw here is the incredible visibility and the chance to practice navigation in an open, shallow environment. It's a great spot for newer divers, or those looking for a relaxed, critter-focused dive away from the main currents.
