About this dive site

This dive site, known as Aquarium Anse du Souffleur, is a shallow and protected area perfectly suited for beginner divers and training. Located in Guadeloupe, it offers an 'amazing' and 'very rich' underwater experience between 5 and 8 meters, with a maximum depth of 10 meters. Its calm conditions make it an ideal spot for learning underwater navigation and for entry-level scuba certifications like Try Scuba, Basic Diver, Scuba Diver, and Open Water Diver SSI. There is no specific history or story provided beyond its suitability as a natural 'aquarium' for marine life.

The site boasts a high diversity of marine life, including sergeant majors, grunts, trumpetfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish, and angelfish. For macro enthusiasts, there are morays, crayfish, shrimps living in anemones, hermit crabs, and peacock flounder. The 'rich' environment also features vibrant corals, supporting this thriving ecosystem.

This dive site is excellent for underwater photography and videography, especially for capturing macro life and reef fish in good visibility. It's also a superb location for studying marine biology due to its abundant and diverse inhabitants. Its shallow depth and richness make it equally suitable for snorkelers and freedivers looking to explore a vibrant reef system. Divers should focus on buoyancy control to protect the delicate corals and enjoy the plentiful small creatures.
