Scuba diving in Martinique is split between three main flavors. Around Rocher du Diamant you get a legendary lava pinnacle with arches, swim throughs and schooling fish. In Anses d'Arlet and Cap Salomon there are easy reef gardens ideal for training, turtles and relaxed multilevel dives. Further north in the Bay of Saint-Pierre, deep wrecks such as Le Roraima and Le Dahlia rest below the slopes of Mount Pelee, adding serious history and overhead structure for experienced divers.
This Cap Salomon classic is a series of coral gardens and rocky slopes between roughly {{ 5 | distance:m }} and {{ 30 | distance:m }}, with swim throughs, scorpionfish, turtles and rich hard coral cover.
A south coast wall dive that starts shallow and drops toward {{ 40 | distance:m }}, Pointe Lezarde mixes finger coral gardens, overhangs and small canyons with frequent turtle and barracuda sightings.
Rocher du Diamant (Diamond Rock)
Martinique's signature dive is a lava plug rising dramatically from the Caribbean, with arches, caves and walls dropping from about {{ 12 | distance:m }} down past {{ 30 | distance:m }}.
Petites Jorasses, Anses-d'Arlet
Terraced volcanic ledges step down to about {{ 20 | distance:m }} and beyond, with schooling barracuda, trevally and plenty of reef fish weaving through coral covered rock.
