This dive site, Pointe Borgnèse, is a protected natural area situated at the tranquil entrance to Baie du Marin in southern Martinique. Accessible via a small path leading to a beach, divers can easily enter the water from shore to explore the surrounding shallow seagrass beds and vibrant reefs. Its protected status ensures calm conditions, making it an ideal spot for relaxed underwater exploration and enjoyment.
The site is teeming with marine life, particularly at the foot of the rocky point, which is adorned with an array of gorgonians, sponges, and corals. Many species of reef fish can be spotted here, thriving within the diverse habitats provided by the healthy coral formations and extensive seagrass beds.
Optimal conditions for visiting Pointe Borgnèse are generally during Martinique's dry season, from December to May, when visibility is typically at its best. This site is particularly suitable for beginners, snorkelers, and freedivers due to its minimal depth and gentle environment. It offers fantastic opportunities for macro photography and observing the rich, small-scale reef life.
