About Passe boueni nord - patate barracuda
Passe boueni nord - patate barracuda is a rocky rise on the north side of Bouéni Pass in Mayotte, with coral-covered blocks that pull in schools of barracuda and other pelagic fish. It is a current-aware boat dive where timing, line choice, and trim matter as much as the terrain, and the best dives stay disciplined around the structure instead of trying to force a long swim.
