Falling aviator

Falling aviator is ranked second on the list of best places for scuba diving in Mayotte. This diving site gets its name from its proximity to the end of the airstrip at Dzaoudzi airport, but it also has a spectacular drop that drops 62 meters.

This dive site begins with a pleasant walk that is peppered with canyons and tunnels to explore, including one that begins at 12m and ends at 25m deep. During your immersion, you will come into contact with some of the locals, such as scorpionfish, porcupine fish, and other reef species. When you reach the wall, you will be taken aback by the vertical wall covered in corals and gorgonians, which gives you a true sense of vertigo. A huge loach weighing approximately 300 kg awaits travelers in the unfathomable depths 60 meters below the surface. Be aware that this Mayotte dive spot is extremely vulnerable to swell, therefore it is only accessible in very excellent weather.
