About Passe en S #10
Passe en S #10 is a boat-access pass dive in Mayotte with a blue-anemone anchorage, a sandy slope that funnels you toward the main drop-off, and a profile that changes as you move deeper. It is best treated as a guided drift or pass dive rather than a long swim. Expect warm lagoon water, clear visibility, and marine life that shifts from clownfish and reef fish near the top to grey reef sharks and triggerfish farther out.
