Banc du Petit Castor

The bank rises as a broad dome with good coral on top. Deeper down the slope is cut by crevices and cavities among giant gorgonians. Jacks and tuna pass along the drop-off, and whitetip, grey reef and leopard sharks are met regularly, with the occasional manta ray. Compared with other Mitsio sites it offers more predators and pelagics.
