About Piste de ski - Mayotte
Piste de ski - Mayotte is a coral reef-and-sand slope in southern Mayotte, named for the steep strip of sand where the dive begins. The site reads as a simple reef profile rather than a current-heavy pass, so it works well for snorkelers and beginner scuba when the lagoon is calm. Coral covers both sides of the sand line, and the usual fish mix is varied rather than sparse. It is a good fit for relaxed reef scanning, not fast drift work.
