About Passe en S #5
Passe en S #5 is a boat dive inside Mayotte's S-shaped pass, set over a broad white-sand valley broken by scattered coral blocks. The site is about slow scanning and bottom contrast rather than dramatic relief, with stingrays blending into the sand and small reef life holding to the blocks. It suits relaxed scuba when the pass is calm enough for a clean, easy read of the bottom.
