Poids Perdus

About this dive site

This dive site, Poids Perdus, offers a fascinating underwater experience beginning with a descent to a 10-meter plateau. From there, divers can explore a dramatic drop-off, choosing to follow it either to the right or left, encountering a series of small coves and crevices along the way. This allows for diverse exploration and varied encounters depending on the diver's chosen path. The underwater topography is varied and interesting, creating an engaging dive that rewards exploration.

The marine life at Poids Perdus is rich and varied. Divers can expect to see pagras (snappers), moray eels, and a variety of other coral reef fish. The exact species will vary depending on the season and environmental conditions. While the description doesn't specify other inhabitants, the diverse habitats suggest a broader array of life could be encountered, including smaller invertebrates and crustaceans.

The best time to visit Poids Perdus would likely be during the warmer months (summer and early autumn) when visibility is typically better and the water is warmer. For freedivers, the relatively shallow maximum depth and the varied landscape offer good opportunities. Divers should be mindful of their air consumption and buoyancy control in the varied terrain. The relatively mild currents make it suitable for divers of various experience levels.
