Basse Terre diving - enjoy distinctive feeling
Guadeloupe is more popular for scuba diving than any of the other French-speaking islands. The allure is the relatively calm seas and La Reserve Cousteau, a kind of French national park with many intriguing dive sites, where the underwater environment is rigidly protected. Jacques Cousteau once described the waters off Guadeloupe's Pigeon Island as "one of the world's 10 best diving spots." Sergeant majors become visible at a depth of 9m (30 ft.), spiny sea urchins and green parrotfish at 18m (59 ft.), and magnificent stands of finger, black, brain, and star coral at 24m (79 ft.). The most popular dive sites include Aquarium, Piscine, Jardin de Corail, Pointe Carrangue, Pointe Barracuda, and Jardin Japonais. Although scattered around the periphery of the island, many are in the bay of Petit Cul-de-Sac Marin, south of Riviere Salee, the channel that separates the two halves of Guadeloupe. North of the Salee is another bay, Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin, where the small islets of Fajou and Caret also boast fine diving.
