Why dive here
With 331+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and manta rays - POINTE AUX FOUS offers some of Cousteau Reserve's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Pointe aux Fous sits in the heart of the Cousteau Reserve, a solid choice for an easy dive. We usually drop in around 6 metres, winding our way through scattered coral heads that don't get much deeper than 15 metres. It’s a busy spot, often with big schools of balao and whiting swirling around. Keep an eye out for lobsters tucked into crevices or a stingray gliding past. On a good day, we’ve even had rough-toothed dolphins make a fly-by, which is always a treat. Average visibility hovers around 14 metres, decent enough to take in the action, and the depth makes it accessible for newer divers or those who just want a relaxed poke about.
