Red Point is a boat-access reef at the southern tip of Curieuse Island inside the marine park, built around big boulders and rocky relief with some structure visible above the surface. It is a compact dive for relaxed exploration rather than distance, and it is known for shark, ray, turtle, and schooling fish encounters when the weather lines up. The site is most rewarding when the guide can pick a calm window and keep the drift under control.
