This dive site, LE SOUS MARIN, is celebrated as one of the most beautiful diving locations in the northern Caribbean, specifically northern Martinique. Located approximately 20-30 minutes from the UCPA center, it boasts a very rich and varied underwater relief. While no specific navigation details or historical context are provided, divers can expect a vibrant and diverse topography to explore. Access is typically by boat.
The marine life here is exceptionally rich, encompassing fixed reef fauna, abundant reef fish, and various pelagic species. Divers can anticipate seeing a wide array of colorful corals and invertebrates that contribute to the site's thriving ecosystem, alongside schools of fish and potentially larger oceanic visitors.
The best time to visit LE SOUS MARIN is during periods of calm seas, as the site is situated in the Dominica canal where strong swell can occasionally make it impassable. Divers should consult local dive centers for current conditions. With a maximum depth of 19 meters and an average of 9 meters, it is suitable for a range of dive levels, though strong currents warrant caution for less experienced divers. Its rich fauna and varied relief make it a highly rewarding dive for both scuba divers and freedivers.
