    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Le Jardin, as the name suggests, offers a surprisingly colourful dive for the region. We've often found small schools of damselfish flitting around the rock formations, with plenty of scorpionfish tucked into crevices. It’s a good choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed exploration rather than dramatic topography. Visibility is typically good here, making it easy to just cruise along.
