Destaques
La Pointe Borgnese
One of the most visited dive sites in Martinique, this naturally protected area is a “pool” filled with corals. This spot is perfect for beginners due to the rich wildlife that lives in very shallow water. Divers can spot beautiful parrotfish, moray eels, squid, shrimp, and many small fish in less than 5 meters/16 feet of water. A steep wall takes you further down, from where you can look up and see the marine animals passing by.
The Diamond Rock
This spot features several interesting dives. One is The Cathedral, where you can explore a hole in the Rock that allows you to pass from the west side to the south side through a long tunnel. There are also several arches and caves around the Rock, as well as a superb plateau where you can watch the colorful and abundant sea life. The eastern side of this rock formation can be explored by drifting through the south or north, depending on which way the current flows.
The Roraima
Dubbed “the Titanic of Martinique,” Roraima was a mixed cargo vessel that sunk in 1902 following a devastating natural disaster: the eruption of an active volcano. Today, the shipwreck lies very close from the shore at a depth of 45 to 60 meters/131-196 feet. Coral and sponges cover the ship and inside, in the engine room and down the corridors, you can find “passengers” such as lionfish.
The Nahoon
This beautiful shipwreck is an old steamer that was purposefully sunk in 1993 to create an artificial reef for divers. The Nahoon is very well preserved and lies flat in 35 meters/115 feet of water on a sandy bottom. Now colonized by coral, sponges, and gorgonians, and visited by angelfish, trevallies, barracudas, king mackerels, and other species of fish, the wreck is a must-see for advanced divers.
