Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin<\/a> is a diving spot suitable for novices and experienced divers alike. It lies between the islands of Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre, with a surface area of 15,000 ha. It is home to an exceptional biodiversity: sponges, coral, fish… a wide range of habitats. You can admire them by snorkeling, underwater trekking or scuba diving. <\/p>\n\nSublime diving in Les Saintes and Marie-Galante<\/h2>\n\nThe Sec-P\u00e2t\u00e9 site in Les Saintes: from 15 to 300 meters!<\/h3>\n\n
More precisely located between the Saintes archipelago and Guadeloupe, Sec-P\u00e2t\u00e9 is a must-do if you’re diving in the Caribbean. However, you’ll need at least a Level 2 to access it, as this spot starts at 15 meters and ends at 300! <\/p>\n\n
The Sec-P\u00e2t\u00e9 site is a mythical spot where some of the finest specimens in the Caribbean can be found: king angelfish as wide as a 33 rpm record, grey angelfish, oceanic triggerfish, predatory fish and moray eels the width of a tree trunk. All in a sumptuous setting. <\/p>\n\n

As soon as you’re in the water, you head off into the depths, at 40 meters, to tour the massif, a veritable underwater mountain. The faults and cavities reveal astonishing fauna in a unique setting: tubular sponges, vibrantly colored gorgonians, coral and crinoids. <\/p>\n\n
But it’s a spot that has to be earned, and it’s best to choose your day carefully. Otherwise, swell and currents can make things difficult. <\/p>\n\n
Exploring almost untouched dive sites in Marie-Galante<\/h3>\n\n
Marie-Galante is quite simply the best family diving spot in Guadeloupe. The sites are all within easy reach: 10 to 15 minutes by boat. <\/p>\n\n
If you don’t know where to dive in Guadeloupe, look no further. Marie-Galante promises a unique experience, both human and underwater, in a confidential atmosphere far removed from mass tourism. <\/p>\n\n
The dive sites on Marie-Galante, also known as Les Cayes, are made up of long, gently sloping plateaus. They are home to lobsters, spotted moray eels, flatfish and schools of lutjans… <\/p>\n\n
On this unspoilt island, you’ll have the soul of a discoverer as you explore dive sites that are virtually untouched, but emblematic of the Caribbean. <\/p>\n\n
Don’t miss the impressive diversity of the Capesterre seabed, the Coral Garden, Tico and Grande Ancre.<\/p>\n\n
Guadeloupe, a diver’s paradise<\/h2>\n\n
“L’\u00eele aux belles eaux” promises a colorful diving experience. Its seabed is a veritable aquatic garden where you’ll have the time of your life. Each time you dive, you’ll be accompanied by a myriad of tropical fish, corals, sea anemones, crinoids, gorgonians and colorful tubular sponges. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
