Merville Patches

Also known as: Moray Reef · Merville Aquarium

Blue Water also calls it Moray Reef and reports many species of moray, including rare ones, alongside lionfish, scorpionfish, stonefish and young octopus. PADI's guide describes five patches with nudibranchs, leaf fish and occasional ghost pipefish, and My Base mentions eagle rays, turtles and seahorses. The turquoise water and calm conditions make it a common choice for first dives, navigation training and night dives.
