Passe en S #1B
Passe en S #1B is a shallow pass dive with turtles and coral.
Boat access and day-of mooring choice matter here; the shallow pass sections suit guided dives when wind and current are manageable.
About Passe en S #1B
Passe en S #1B is a shallow mooring on Mayotte's famous S-shaped pass, where coral structure rises from the drop-off and turtles and batfish often cruise the calmer sections. The exact spot is chosen around wind and current, so it works best as a guided boat dive rather than a fixed route. Its appeal is the sheltered bends and easy topography, not a hard technical profile.
