Petit Byahau is a popular Bequia-area boat dive with a healthy reef top, dense coral cover and a lot of reef fish life packed into a compact route. The site is easy to read underwater, but it still feels lively because other divers may be around and a light current can turn the dive into a gentle drift. It suits beginners and relaxed intermediates who want a colorful reef rather than a hard current day, as long as they are comfortable sharing the water with other groups.
