Why dive here
With 364+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dugongs, dwarf minke whales, giant moray eels and humpback whales - Dragon's Teeth offers some of Grande Comore's richest cave diving. Water ranges 26-30°C, warmest January, March, April.
Dragon's Teeth is a site that truly gets under your skin. Forget colourful corals for a moment, this is about the raw geology of Comoros, those jagged volcanic fingers plunging into the blue. We love how the light plays through the cracks, giving the whole place a slightly eerie, primordial feel. You'll spend most of your dive navigating a series of arches and swim-throughs, etched into the rock by ancient lava flows. Look up often; schools of Blackfish shimmer against the sunlit surface, and sometimes a lone Coral Hawkfish watches from a shadowy ledge. Our favourite part is a particular overhang at about 18 metres, where the honeycomb coral glows almost unnaturally green. Currents here can be lively, so it’s best suited for intermediate divers comfortable with drift, though often you're sheltered within the formations. We'd suggest going in the morning; the lower sun angle really enhances the drama of the rockscapes. It's a proper adventure for divers who appreciate the wilder side of the ocean.
