Why dive here
With 401+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, dolphins and dugongs - Passe Boueni sud offers some of Mayotte Lagoon's richest drift diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest February, March, April.
Passe Boueni Sud is a relaxed drift dive, a nice introduction to Mayotte’s lagoon. You’ll gently cruise along a sandy bottom, dotted with coral bommies, mostly hard corals, nothing too flashy. Look closely and you’ll often spot smaller reef fish darting in and out, damselfish, parrotfish. We’ve seen a turtle or two here, slowly munching on seagrass. It’s a good spot for newer divers, or when you just want a chill dive without fighting the current.
