    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    L'Ilot Island offers a gentle reef dive, good for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed experience. You’ll typically find schooling fusiliers and snapper hanging around the granite boulders. Keep an eye out for reef sharks patrolling the edges; we often spot them cruising by. It’s a solid, undemanding dive site.
