Klondike

Klondike, just off Flic en Flac, often gets tagged as a beginner’s site, and sure, it’s shallow enough for new divers to feel comfortable, usually around 9-12 metres. But we think that’s selling it short. What we love here are the rock formations and the way they create these shadowy ledges and small swim-throughs. It’s not a huge site, but we enjoy weaving through the channels, with the sand rippling gently below. Look closely in those darker pockets; you’ll often find shoals of sweepers hanging out, sometimes so dense they look like a shimmering curtain. We’ve had great encounters with big long-nosed butterflyfish here, and it's a prime spot for spotting flasher scorpionfish if you have a keen eye. The visibility is often a generous 18 metres, making it easy to just drift and watch the ghost morays peek from crevices. We’d suggest going early in the morning before the dive school rush if you want the place to yourself.
