Why dive here
With 511+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue sharks, dolphins and eagle rays - Sec à Zitte offers some of Saint-Gilles & West Coast's richest diving. Water ranges 25-29°C, warmest January, February, March.
Sec à Zitte is a solid intermediate dive, good for when you want a relaxed drift without too much drama. It’s a seamount that comes up to around 24 metres, essentially a big rocky pinnacle often draped in whip corals. We’ve seen quite a few reef sharks here, usually cruising out in the blue, and it's a reliable spot for schools of fusiliers and snapper. Keep an eye out for moray eels tucked into the crevices; they're almost always present. It’s a decent option for a second dive of the day, offering a pleasant drift along the slope.
