Jardin de Corail

Jardin de Corail, or Coral Garden, is the kind of site we always recommend for a relaxed afternoon dive, particularly if you’re newer to diving or just want an easy cruise. Dropping down, you’re greeted by sprawling table corals and sea fans, creating these lovely, intricate structures. It’s shallow, only reaching 18m at its deepest, which means excellent light penetration, illuminating the reef in bright, clear blues and greens. We especially love the sheer density of parrotfish here – they’re constantly munching away, and you can practically hear the crunching if you listen carefully. You’ll spot a fair few green sea turtles too, usually just hanging out near the bigger coral heads. Keep an eye out for keel-tail needlefish just beneath the surface; their long, slender bodies are quite striking. The current is generally negligible, making it a truly peaceful drift. It’s not about huge pelagics or dramatic drop-offs, but rather a gentle exploration of a healthy, bustling reef. Perfect for photographers and those who appreciate the smaller details.
