The Lagon Maoré diving centre is located in the south of Grande-Terre, Mayotte, 45 km from Mamoudzou and on the beach of N'Gouja, inside the small resort Jardin Maoré. A beautiful tropical garden houses 18 bungalows and a restaurant, bordering the beach. Rental of Aqualung equipment and 2 rebreathers is available here. Nitrox 32% is offered to divers who are already Nitrox certified. The training centre Le Lagon Maoré offers PADI TDI SDI SSI FFESSM and ANMP/CEDIP courses from beginners to advanced divers.
Qualified instructors, passionate, supervise groups of 4 divers.
You embark either on a 9.6 m aluminium barge, approved for 19 divers or on a 10 m aluminium barge for 21 divers. Their powerful motorisation allows them to get to the sites quickly, with safe launches. Regular trips are made to the wreck of the Joachim, a 16-meter long sailing boat, which lies on a 20-meter seabed opposite the hotel. You will enjoy a house reef with a gently sloping seagrass bed, colonised by turtles. In the morning, the drift dives are dedicated to certified divers, along the outer walls of the reef, up to 40 meters deep.
The current is checked as soon as the boat arrives at the best spots in Mayotte, by the instructors. Expect good visibility with lots of life: barracudas, rays, groupers, small reef sharks. In the afternoon, you reach the south of the Mayotte Lagoon, after a 5 to 10-minute boat ride. Explore by diving and snorkelling wonderful coral gardens teeming with multicoloured fish and turtles. The coral reefs go down from the surface to 25 meters. Sometimes you will see dolphins on the way to the boat. Ask for night dives to see the small fauna of the Seychelles that you rarely see during the day with shrimps, crabs, pencil urchins and Spanish dancers.
