This dive site features the Roraima, a mythical wreck from the devastating 1902 Mont Pelée eruption, located in the bay of Saint-Pierre. The wreck lies at a maximum depth of 44 meters, making it a challenging dive suitable for advanced divers. Its historical significance and the delicate 'angel hair' gorgonians adorning its structure make for a unique underwater exploration.
While not renowned for an abundance of large fish due to its depth, the Roraima wreck is a canvas for marine life adapted to deeper environments. The prominent gorgonians offer intricate habitats for various small invertebrates, crustaceans, and other macro subjects, rewarding keen-eyed divers.
The Roraima is best visited by experienced divers seeking a historical and aesthetically rich wreck dive. The site's depth makes it unsuitable for snorkeling or general freediving. Divers should be well-prepared for deep diving protocols and enjoy the unique blend of history and marine growth found on this iconic vessel.
