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.
