A local boat operator is required for the drift setup and pickup.
Dragon Teeth is a boat-accessed seamount dive off Mahé with a back-roll entry and pickup at the end of the drift. The site is a granite pinnacle with strong current, varied reef life, and a compact profile that rewards confident buoyancy and a clean team plan. It is best treated as an advanced drift dive rather than a relaxed reef bimble.
