Pointe Borgnèse

Welcome to our dive site at the exit of the Cul de Sac du Marin in Martinique, France! This site is perfect for everyone, from beginners to advanced divers, including snorkelers. Located just 10 minutes away by boat, it offers a diverse underwater landscape with a coral massif, seagrass meadow, sandy areas, and a stunning coral drop-off.

For beginners, the anchorage close to the coast provides a sheltered area that is ideal for diving. The shallow water below the boat, around 4-5 meters deep, is characterized by turquoise hues thanks to the fine white sand and the presence of coral formations known as "les patates de corail". Here, you'll be surrounded by swarms of colorful small coral fish like beetles, damselfish, and juvenile gorettes. The coral acts as natural protection for these fish against predators such as trevally, trumpetfish, lizardfish, and ti'mérou. You may even have the chance to witness a shoal of manioc fish or observe parrots "nibbling" on the coral. Keep an eye out for lizardfish, plaice, and crabs on the sandy areas. It's important to maintain distance from the seabed to avoid contact with sea urchins and biting damselfish, which can harm both you and the delicate coral beds. Remember, even a single flipper stroke can cause significant damage.

For more experienced divers, a short swim will take you to the drop-off, an underwater cliff with numerous crevices where you can spot waving lobster antennae. The drop-off plunges to a depth of 30 meters, so be attentive to the call of the blue and explore this fascinating vertical wall. The dive concludes gently around 5 meters below the boat, allowing for a peaceful ascent.

With a maximum depth of 14 meters and a visibility of approximately 16 meters, this dive site provides a perfect environment for divers of all levels. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced diver, our site offers an unforgettable experience. So grab your gear, let's dive into the underwater wonders of Martinique!
