Mayotte is a French island in Comoros, located between Madagascar and Tanzania.
This region has one of the largest lagoons in the world and one of the most important tidal range.
This makes it a destination offering a variety of fauna and flora very important (however, attention to visibility 2 weeks per month!).
Mayotte is however not very touristic: the island condition and the Comores migration problems do that the island is not proposed by the international tourist organizations.
Leisure activities are currently dedicated to expatriates... and to frenches who want to discover them ;).

The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
Parrotfish create a protective envelope around them when they are sleeping.
So, don't put the light on them during night dive to don't to wake them up and break this envelope.
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
