Anse Christophe is a quiet dive in the Bay of Bouillante, outside the National Park and commonly treated as the first dive area in the bay. The site runs over a gentle coral slope and offers a broad Caribbean fish mix, so it feels more exploratory than dramatic. It is less visited than the Malendure circuit, which makes it a good pick for a calmer day and a slower look at turtles, morays, angelfish, and other reef life.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep an eye on boat traffic, stay within the planned depth, and use the gentler slope rather than pushing the deeper line on a casual day.
Access Restrictions
No special public access restriction is called out in the references.
Legal Notes
The site lies outside the National Park, so standard local marine and operator rules apply.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The site offers a gentle coral slope with a shallow profile and a deeper 37 m line, so it works best when the dive plan is matched to diver level.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site; the deeper line makes scuba the better fit.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the shallowest fringe of the slope; the main route is a scuba dive.
