Drift dive north of Boulari pass on a gentle outer slope.
About Jardin de Marc
Jardin de Marc is a drift dive on the outer slope north of Boulari pass, marked by a ray-shaped memorial stele for Marc. The site drops gently into open water, so the experience is all about following the current, reading the slope, and enjoying schooling fish and larger visitors on the outer reef. It suits divers who like a current-aware profile with plenty of room to drift and a classic New Caledonia lagoon feel.
