About POINTE BATTERIE
Boat-access reef off Deshaies with a simple profile, coral-covered relief, and a strong macro focus. The site suits relaxed scuba rather than high-adrenaline diving: expect sheltered normal conditions, little current, easy buoyancy management, and a profile that rewards small-life hunting more than big scenery. It is the sort of place that works best when you want an easy, guided outing with room to look closely at the reef.
