Passe Houareau

Passe Houareau is the primary channel into Aldabra's vast lagoon, a world-class drift dive where the Indian Ocean's remote, unpolluted waters deliver extraordinary visibility and dense pelagic life. Schools of scalloped hammerheads patrol the channel margins while oceanic manta rays soar through the blue water above pristine coral formations. The remoteness of Aldabra means virtually no diving pressure, and the marine life here exhibits a fearlessness rarely encountered at more accessible destinations.
