Situated beyond the headland of Pointe Blance and the Cruise and Cargo Terminal, Hen and Chicks is a small rock island less than a nautical mile off shore. An expectionally beautiful miniature wall dive, unspoilt due to it proximity. On calm days this site offers a refreshing change of scenery, with usually excellent visibility. At the shallower parts of the reef, you will find it covered with colourful elk-horn corals.
As you descend to the depths, you may discover more cool stuff.
