About Labyrinthe 1
Labyrinthe 1 is a guide-led reef maze on Lifou where canyons, tunnels, faults, and small arches weave through dense gorgonians. The dive is built around careful navigation and slow buoyancy control rather than speed, with a photogenic mix of reef texture, small fish life, and occasional ray visits. It suits advanced divers who are comfortable staying close to the guide in overhead terrain.
