About Passe en S #8B
Passe en S #8B is the south-side buoy on Mayotte's signature pass, a boat-run dive for trained divers. The route follows a steep coral wall where tide timing matters, water movement can build quickly, and the dive feels most comfortable when the boat plan matches the day's tide window. Expect a big-wall profile, coral color, and regular shark encounters.
