La Source ('The Spring') is a unique dive site where a cool freshwater spring bubbles up from the seabed, creating a shimmering halocline. The surrounding coral reef is very healthy and is a great place to see turtles.
Features
A beautiful coral garden with a unique feature: a freshwater spring that creates a visible mixing layer (halocline) with the saltwater. Turtles are very common in this area, attracted to the healthy reef.
