North Martinique wall dive with plateau and deep drop.
North Martinique wall dive with plateau and deep drop.
COUCOUNE TOMBANT DE BARRERE is a north Martinique wall dive where a sandy plateau with garden eels gives way to a steeper drop draped in gorgonians, sponges, and reef life. It is a more committed site than the island's calm beginner wrecks, with enough depth and current sensitivity to reward divers who want a classic northern Caribbean wall profile.
