Why dive here

Corne de Tenia in Prony Bay offers a gentle introduction to New Caledonia's coastal diving. It’s a shallower site, perfect for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed multi-level profile. You'll find schools of fusiliers here, often sheltering amongst the soft corals, with the occasional reef shark gliding past in the blue. We'd suggest it for an easy afternoon dive, particularly if the wind is up elsewhere.
