This dive site, Mambo, is an exclusive and not often dived location situated off the coast between Anse Negresse and Pointe Mahaut in Guadeloupe. It offers a relaxed diving experience, starting at 4 meters and descending no deeper than 12 meters. The underwater architecture features several rocky formations adorned with vibrant corals, inviting divers to take their time exploring its tranquil environment and observe the rich marine life. There is no specific historical background provided for the site, suggesting it is primarily appreciated for its natural beauty.
Mambo is home to a diverse array of marine life. Divers can expect to encounter various fish species, with barracuda and diodonfish (likely porcupinefish/pufferfish) specifically mentioned. The seagrass areas at the end of the dive are a particular highlight, where seahorses and turtles can be spotted. The rocky structures are described as being "full of corals," indicating a healthy reef ecosystem supporting a multitude of smaller invertebrates and reef fish.
This site is ideal for those seeking a peaceful and uncrowded dive, where the emphasis is on observation rather than depth. Its shallow profile makes it excellent for extended bottom times and a great spot for both beginner divers and underwater photographers focusing on macro and wide-angle reef scenes. Freedivers will also find it highly suitable due to the shallow depths and vibrant marine life easily accessible on a single breath. As an exclusive site, arranging access through a local dive operator is highly recommended.
