The maze-like layout makes guide-led access the normal way to dive this site.
A maze of canyons, swim-throughs, tunnels, and small arches on Lifou, best handled as a guide-led scuba dive with colorful gorgonians and the chance of ray visits.
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.
