    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    L’Eveillé delivers exactly what we look for in a good wall dive: plenty to keep your eyes busy at every depth. Drop down to the sand at 28 metres and the reef just rises straight up, full of nooks and crannies to peer into. We love the small archway at 25 metres, always worth a slow swim through. The coral hogfish really seem to like it there, often tucked in amongst the staghorn. Keep an eye out for the robust bullethead parrotfish munching away, their crunching audible if you listen close. You’ll also spot plenty of four-saddle grouper watching you with their usual grumpy expressions. If you’re lucky, a humphead wrasse might cruise past, utterly unbothered by your presence. We usually pair L’Eveillé with a drift over to Tokata, the anemone garden nearby, making for a relaxed two-tank morning. This site is great for divers who enjoy taking their time to really explore a reef’s contours rather than just flying by.
