About POINTE AUX FOUS

Pointe aux Fous is a Deshaies boat reef with a coral strip at the cliff foot, a sandy band, and large coral massifs that keep the dive interesting without pushing it out of reach for newer divers. It is a relaxed Caribbean site with lots of reef life, shallow entry points, and enough structure for a comfortable guided dive or calm-day snorkel outing.
