About this Dive Site
Description
Explore the 'Djabeda', a 42-meter Japanese fishing trawler that now rests as an artificial reef off Le Morne. Since its sinking in 1998, this wreck has transformed into a bustling metropolis for marine life, hosting lionfish, angelfish, and curious moray eels. Its largely intact structure invites divers to discover its secrets and the abundant life it shelters.
