Le Canon is a boat-accessed reef dive off Port-Louis in Guadeloupe, where a vertical wall drops to a sandy plateau around the arch that gives the site its name. Groupers hold the structure, barracudas cruise the blue, and moray eels work the deeper cracks. It suits guided day boats, calm buoyancy, and north-swell planning.
