About Îlot Bandrelé #1
Îlot Bandrelé #1 is a shallow, clear-water fringing-reef dive off Sakouli beach, set up around a mooring buoy in front of the dive center. It is a beginner-friendly site with a straightforward underwater profile, so the main planning focus is calm launch timing, staying on the buoyed access line, and keeping clear of the reef edge. The setting is relaxed and low-friction rather than deep or technical, which makes it a good fit for easy guided scuba days and secondary snorkel use.
