Rempart Serpent

Ambiance Reef

 It is easy to see how this unusual site got its name. Literally translating to "Snake Reef", this incredible rocky pocket is over 100m long. As its mesmerising blanket of seaweed bends and sways in the slow moving waters, it resembles a slow moving snake sliding across the ocean floor. 
 
Oddly barren looking, Rempart Serpent is not only home to the usual brightly coloured tropical fish, but also home to huge numbers of sinister looking stonefish, scorpion fish, lionfish and Moray Eels. Such an agglomeration of these species is unique in Mauritius.
