Lost Anchor

Lost Anchor (Ancre Perdu) is a calm, shallow reef site named after the old anchor resting on its sandy bottom. The area is bright and open, with scattered coral patches that create a relaxed and welcoming landscape.

Its gentle conditions and easy depth make it ideal for beginners and refresher dives, while macro lovers will enjoy exploring the small creatures hiding among the coral heads.

A Shallow Reef Marked by a Lost Anchor

The site takes its name from the large, weathered anchor lying on the seabed, a distinctive landmark that adds character to the dive. Surrounding it is a patchwork of coral heads set against a clean sandy bottom, creating a bright and open environment that is easy to navigate.

Gentle Depth and Calm Conditions

With depths ranging from 10 to 15 m, Lost Anchor offers a comfortable profile suitable for long, relaxed dives. The site is sheltered from strong currents, making it a favourite for training sessions, beginner dives and anyone looking for a slow, easy exploration. The shallow depth also allows for extended bottom time and relaxed buoyancy practice.

Macro Life and Small Reef Fish

The coral patches host a lively mix of small reef species, including damselfish, butterflyfish and juvenile wrasses. Closer inspection reveals macro subjects such as nudibranchs, cleaner shrimps and small scorpionfish hiding among the corals. The sandy areas also attract garden eels and other subtle marine life that reward patient observation.

An Ideal Site for Beginners and Photographers

Lost Anchor is particularly appreciated by new divers, instructors and underwater photographers. Its calm conditions, good visibility and accessible depth make it a stress-free environment where divers can focus on technique, observation or macro photography without pressure.
