Boat coral drop-off near Saint-François with a simple out-and-back profile and easy reef navigation.
About Mervillon
Mervillon is a boat-access coral drop-off off Saint-François with a simple out-and-back profile: follow the wall on the outbound leg, then return above the reef. It suits relaxed reef diving, with plenty of fish life, crustaceans, and a shallow profile that keeps navigation straightforward rather than technical. The site works well for a daytime reef dive when you want structure without strong exposure or a complicated route.
