Jardin Japonais

This dive site, Jardin Japonais, offers a varied underwater landscape characterized by an alternation of sandy patches, vibrant coral formations, and intriguing rock structures. Navigation is relatively straightforward, following the natural contours of the seabed. A highlight of this dive is a tunnel located at 13 meters, situated just beneath the anchorage point, providing a unique and memorable passage during the dive. There is no known specific history or story associated with the dive site's name.

The marine life at Jardin Japonais is abundant and diverse. Divers and freedivers can expect to encounter a variety of species including lobsters, moray eels, barracuda, and turtles. For those with a keen eye, the elusive frogfish can also be spotted amongst the coral and rocks. The site also supports a healthy diversity of smaller fish and invertebrates.

The best time to visit Jardin Japonais is likely during the warmer months, from May to October, when the water temperature is more pleasant and visibility is generally better. However, the site can be explored year-round, though divers and freedivers should be prepared for slightly cooler water temperatures during the other months. Due to the relatively shallow maximum depth of 18 meters, the site is suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers, though care should be taken while navigating the tunnel.
