About Pointe Barracuda
Pointe Barracuda is a boat dive on the exposed northwestern side of the Grand Ilet, where a steep wall, coral growth, and sponge coverage make the site better for experienced divers than for casual reef cruising. The main route is to follow the drop-off and treat it as a serious reserve dive shaped by sea state and boat logistics.
Safety & Access
Safety Notes
This is a deeper wall dive. Match buoyancy, gas, and ascent planning to the exposed side and the boat pickup.
Access Restrictions
Use the reserve's ecological moorings and do not anchor on reef or seagrass.
Legal Notes
Protected reserve rules apply in the core zone, including fixed moorings and no free anchoring.
