Ali Baba

Also known as: Alibaba

Ali Baba combines arches and drop-offs in the L'Étang-Salé area. Its main feature is an arch near 35 m where lobsters hide in the ceiling and a fine sea fan with hawkfish guards the entrance. Garden eels rise from the surrounding sand, and stingrays often wait at the arch or glide past. It is usually dived as a drift.
