About La Caye d'Obian
La Caye d'Obian is a boat-served Diamant-area caye for divers who like compact, fish-rich terrain and a little exploration. The main profile is a shallow, open site with a small cave and statue, sandy and muddy patches, and plenty of movement from schools, barracuda, rays, and lobsters. It rewards controlled buoyancy, a light for the cave, and a patient pace that keeps the bottom from clouding.
