Certified-diver coral plateau with boat access
Boat access near a buoy is the practical setup for this certified-diver site.
Les 3 Vallées is a certified-diver coral-plateau site off Martinique with three distinct reef sections separated by sandy lanes. Divers arrive by boat near a buoy, then move across slopes and coral heads where gorgonians, sponges, and schooling fish make the site feel busy and layered. It is a planned dive rather than a casual drift, best for divers comfortable with depth control and a clear route.
