About This Dive Spot
Piège à Requins is located off the Ermitage pass, where divers can descend approximately 40 meters into the blue water. At this depth, a structure resembling a mini fish concentration device can be observed on a flat, rocky bottom, which was originally set up by a fisherman. Despite the site's name, it is notable for the absence of sharks. Instead, divers can expect to see large groupers known as 'loches', platax, sizable pteroi, Javanese moray eels, and large schools of Lutjans in the area.
