This dive site, Christine Plateaux, offers a very calm and accessible diving experience. Divers navigate a unique plateaux environment, characterized by isolated rock formations and stretches of sandy bottom. The exploration involves carefully examining holes and crevices under rocks, searching for hidden marine species. While generally calm, the site occasionally presents mild currents, providing an opportunity for enjoyable drift diving on the return.
Christine Plateaux is a vibrant hub for marine life. Divers can expect to encounter many types of moray eels, small stingrays, and various crustaceans including spider crabs, crabs, and lobsters. The site is particularly rich in macro subjects such as nudibranchs and frogfish. A notable highlight is the chance to spot baby nurse sharks tucked away beneath the rocks, alongside other common reef fish like doctorfish, groupers, parrotfish, and soldierfish.
This shallow and diverse site is excellent for beginners and macro enthusiasts. Due to its varied marine life and manageable depths, it is suitable for diving year-round. Both snorkelers and freedivers will find the site equally rewarding, with plenty to explore near the surface and within easy breath-hold range.
