About Jarre jarron
Jarre jarron is a boat-access island passage dive in the Riou archipelago, where two islands form a small cove with narrow cuts through to the far side. A shallow platform gives way to a short canyon and a deeper drop-off, so the site feels compact but layered rather than simply deep. Salps, small sea bream, octopus, barracuda, grouper, and nudibranchs make it a good choice for divers who like a route with structure and a bit of topographic variety.
