Passe en S #3
Mayotte's famous S-shaped boat pass with coral life.
Boat access, regular departures and a current-washed pass make this a rewarding dive for experienced teams who want coral walls, big fish and room to drift.
About Passe en S #3
Passe en S #3 is one of Mayotte's signature boat dives: a long, S-shaped reef pass with a pronounced drop-off that rewards controlled drifts more than casual sightseeing. The site is best for experienced teams who want coral structure, moving water and open-water wildlife, with groupers, barracuda and occasional sharks appearing when conditions line up.

Local Intel For Passe en S #3
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for drifts and planned boat dives, with coral slopes, open water space and a route that rewards tidy buoyancy and spacing.
Freediving
The exact #3 drop-off is primarily a scuba-style boat dive; freediving is not the practical use-case here.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not the main draw; the site's value is the pass and drop-off below the surface.
