This dive site, famously known as "La Piscine de Salomon" (Salomon's Pool), earned its name from the breathtaking sublime turquoise color of its waters and the radiant white rock formations that create an unparalleled luminosity underwater. Divers can enjoy a relaxing swim with a gentle current, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely drift dive. While the typical dive profile focuses on shallower areas, the site extends to depths of 35-40 meters, offering possibilities for deeper exploration.
The marine life at La Piscine de Salomon is vibrant and diverse, particularly for small, colourful species. You will encounter numerous damsel fish and sergeant majors happily going about their business among the reefs. Schools of larger fish, such as sea bream, have also made this site their home, and keen observers might spot trevallies gracefully moving in the blue.
The combination of excellent visibility, gentle currents, and rich marine biodiversity makes La Piscine de Salomon a superb diving and snorkeling destination. While no specific "best time to visit" is given, the generally stable conditions in Martinique mean it can be enjoyed year-round. This site is highly recommended for photographers due to its exceptional luminosity and the variety of both macro and wide-angle subjects.
