A relaxed Praslin warm-up dive in Curieuse Marine Park, with shallow structure, a cave and strong beginner appeal.
About St. Pierre
St. Pierre is a boat-accessed island dive off Praslin in Curieuse Marine Park. The site is an easy, shallow warm-up with coral gardens, reef fish and a cave on the eastern side that adds a little overhead interest. Whitetip reef sharks may also be seen around the cave. It suits beginners and relaxed boat dives, but the day still needs normal attention to weather, boat timing and the cave area.
