About Pointe de la Baleine
Pointe de la Baleine is a clear-water Martinique drift site with a readable wall and a drop-off that stays scenic rather than technical. Coral formations, gorgonians, sponges, and a steady mix of reef fish and larger visitors keep the route busy, while the open profile rewards calm buoyancy and a tidy drift plan. It is the kind of dive that works well when you want a beautiful wall-style pass without a complicated maze of swim-throughs or navigation.
