About Anse des Tortues
A sheltered Bouillante shore dive from the Anse Duché cove, where a shallow opening leads onto a vertical wall and then along the leeward coast. The route is easy to follow, with coral, sponges, gorgonians, and a tunnel-like section, but the rocky entry and fragile bottom call for calm water, steady buoyancy, and careful footing.

Local Intel For Anse des Tortues
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The main route is a simple follow-through from the shallow opening to the wall and along the coast, with coral and sponge life on the structure.
Freediving
The shallow opening may suit disciplined freediving in very calm conditions, but the wall section and tunnel are better left to scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is most practical in the shallow opening and calm surface water; it is not the best choice for the full wall profile.
