Snake II is a small reef on Mauritius' west coast near Flic en Flac, close to Snake Reef, and served by the local boat-diving circuit. The reef sits in sand, which gives it a clean, readable profile for underwater photography and video, while the surrounding water is known for a broad mix of marine life and generally workable west-coast conditions. It is best approached as a relaxed reef dive when the sea is settled, with winter winds and currents narrowing the easy window.
