Le Laminoir
Boat dive on a collapsed coral ridge in Mayotte.
Collapsed high-bottom ridge with dead coral, canyon pockets, and overhangs; a boat dive for buoyancy-conscious divers who like structure and stingray chances.
About Le Laminoir
Le Laminoir is a collapsed high-bottom dive site in Mayotte where dead coral, canyon-like cuts, and overhangs shape the route. The site is most interesting for buoyancy-conscious scuba divers: you move across rugged relief, use the shelter in the canyons, and watch for stingrays taking advantage of the cover. It is more of a structure-and-life dive than a wide scenic reef, with the strongest appeal coming from the contrast between the dead coral surface and the pockets where marine life concentrates.
