About this dive site

This dive site, named Somewhere, is a charming and accessible underwater location situated just a 15-minute boat ride from St François. Divers typically moor on a vast sandy area that extends throughout the dive. The main feature is a gentle, low coral reef found on the left side when heading out, maintaining a depth range of 13 to 16 meters. There's no specific historical narrative provided, suggesting it's primarily known for its natural beauty and marine life rather than shipwrecks or unique events.

The vibrant marine ecosystem at Somewhere is home to a rich variety of fish and invertebrates. Divers can expect to encounter colorful butterflyfish, damselfish, and sergeant majors, alongside the distinctive pufferfish and trunkfish. Larger inhabitants include barracuda and the occasionally sighted lionfish. Angelfish, grunts, and squirrelfish add to the diversity. The reef also teems with interesting crustaceans such as lobster, shrimp, and crab, with the delicate flamingo tongue adding a touch of unique beauty.

The site is generally enjoyable year-round, with calm conditions making it ideal for relaxed exploration. Its shallow average depth of 8 meters makes it particularly inviting for beginner divers and underwater photographers focusing on macro subjects. Both snorkelers and freedivers will find the site very suitable due to the clear, shallow waters and abundant marine life close to the surface. It's a great spot for leisurely dives, offering a pleasant introduction to the coral reefs of Guadeloupe.
