This dive site, Anse Feuillard, is a very shallow bay located on the authentic island of Marie Galante in Guadeloupe. Primarily known as a snorkeling spot, it offers very limited depth, reaching a maximum of 3 meters with an average depth of just 1 meter, making it ideal for absolute beginners and non-divers exploring the surface. There is no significant historical context or specific underwater navigation challenges beyond its simple, open layout.
Unfortunately, the marine life at Anse Feuillard is noted as disappointing, with a poor showing of both coral formations and fish species. Divers and snorkelers should not expect to encounter a wide variety of colorful reef fish, larger pelagics, or vibrant coral gardens, as the seabed offers limited biodiversity.
The best time to visit Marie Galante and Anse Feuillard for snorkeling or very shallow diving is typically during the dry season, from December to May, when weather conditions are generally calmer and visibility might be at its best. However, even during optimal times, expectations for marine encounters should be kept low. This spot is primarily suited for those looking for a gentle, very shallow swim in calm waters rather than a vibrant underwater experience.
