About this dive site
This dive site, Tour de Boucan, is centered around a submerged tower resting on a white sandy bottom at approximately 22 meters. The tower's walls offer numerous crevices and shelters, creating a vibrant habitat for a diverse array of fish and crustaceans. Navigation is straightforward, mainly exploring the tower's structure and surrounding sandy area. The history of the tower itself is unknown from the provided information.
Marine life is abundant, with the description highlighting a wide variety of species including Rifles, Damselfish, Butterflyfish, Surgeonfish, Lobsters, Grouperfish, and Triggerfish. The richest concentration of life is found at the top of the tower, creating excellent opportunities for both macro and wide-angle photography.
The best time to visit is likely during the warmer months, from May to October, when water temperatures are pleasant and visibility is typically at its best. For freedivers, the maximum depth of 19 meters is manageable, but divers should be mindful of any potential mild currents. Experienced freedivers might explore further away from the tower while divers can enjoy a safe and rewarding dive.
