Dive Sites:

Trou Diable

Creole for “Devil’s Hole”, Trou Diable is a fascinating location. One of the largest plateau dive areas, it is also known as one of the healthiest reefs you’ll ever dive on. There is a profusion of Barrel Sponges and well-developed coral heads with schools of Chromis and Grants.

Trumpet fish, filefish, blennies, and other fish make this their home. Seahorses are sometimes found on this dive.

Superman’s Flight

Located at the base of the Petit Piton, this dive site is well known for its underwater beauty and currents. Part of Superman II was filmed there and that’s why it got its name. Huge barrel sponges and lovely soft orange sponges make this a tremendous dive. When the current is present this is a perfect site for drift diving.

Staircase

Piton Wall II

The continuation of Piton Wall going into Superman’s Flight. Because this reef is untouched by divers it makes the site very beautiful with aquatic life and corals.

Jalousie

Lots of schooling fish of various sizes and color. Located at the base of the Gros Piton this site is about five minutes from the dive shop. A vast range of different corals and sponges can be seen as well.

Lesleen M Wreck

A 165 ft steel freighter that was sunk in 1986 for the purpose of diving. It is covered with deep sea fans and sponges with a variety of reef fish. School of fish can be found in and around the wreck, as well as Moray Eels, Frogfish, Lobsters, and much more.

Grande Caille

Creole for “Large Reef” or “Big House”, Grande Caille is known as a very dramatic site. Deep water Gorgonians, Sea Whips, Huge Brain Corals, and Barrel Sponges in pristine condition can be seen here.

Turtle Reef

A crescent -shaped reef that drops quickly from a plateau to a sandy turtle grass bottom. Located in the bay of Anse Chastanet, it starts off in the shallows at about 15 ft of water with large boulders, continuing to the main reef at about 40 ft where it then drops off to over 150 ft. Spectacular Pillar Corals and huge Barrel Sponges can be seen. You are very likely to see Hawksbill and Green Turtles as it is adjacent to turtle grass beds.

Anse Chastanet Reef

A plateau between 5 ft and 25 ft that drops down to over 145 ft. The reef is covered in gorgonians, soft coral, and sponges. Since it’s a marine reserve, the reef is covered with a variety of marine life such as Moray Eels, Parrotfish, Blennies, Crabs, and big schools of Needle Fish. For photographers, this is the chance to use your macro lens.

Fairyland

This tremendous dive site is the continuation of the Anse Chastanet Reef. Starting off at about 40 ft, the reef then slopes down to beyond. A very large plateau area is covered with beautiful soft corals and huge barrel sponges. Big schools of Horse Eye Jacks and Creole Wrasse make this reef their home.
