About Les trois Pointes
Les trois Pointes is a boat-access lava tongue near Vieux-Fort with a simple route, a small drop-off to the right, and a resident school of barracudas that often hangs close to the site. It works well as a beginner-friendly sightseeing dive because the navigation is easy to read, but the profile still feels coastal and alive thanks to the volcanic structure and open-water fish life. Expect a relaxed guided dive rather than a technical one.
