A Mayotte boat reef on the east side of Îlot Bandrelé, reached by a short run from the nearby club. The site is a typical Mahoran fringing reef with a shallow edge, reef structure that stays readable, and common tropical species that make it a relaxed but lively half-day dive. It feels more like an easy island reef than a remote pass, so it suits divers who want straightforward boat logistics and a broad scenic reef.
