About Petites Jorasses, Anses-d'Arlet
Petites Jorasses is a boat-accessed Martinique reef off Les Anses-d'Arlet, built from terraced volcanic ledges and coral-covered rock that step down toward an outer wall. The site is known for its current-shaped offshore profile, blue-water feel, and mixed schools of reef and pelagic fish weaving through the ledges. It is a boat dive for experienced divers rather than a sheltered cove, with the best windows arriving on calm dry-season days.
