Passe Sada

Passe Sada is the most remote of the southwestern passes dived from N'Gouja, about 15 km away, with steep walls, overhangs and a boulder field with large gorgonians. Dolphins and turtles are often met and whale song can sometimes be heard during dives.

On the north side a first wall drops to about 55 m with overhangs between 15 and 25 m, and a second drop-off runs from 5 to 40 m. A labyrinth of boulders carries gorgonians, some more than 2 m across. Moray eels with cleaner shrimps, fusiliers and soldierfish live along the reef. Dolphins favour the area and turtles and parrotfish are common, while humpback whale song is sometimes audible in season. Like the other southern passes it is dived as a drift with the current.
