Pointe Lamarre is a current-sensitive wall dive with fish and turtles.
Pointe Lamarre is a boat-access Martinique wall dive with a plateau framed by two drop-offs, reached in a short run from a local dive center. It suits divers who are comfortable timing the current window and settling into a steady descent plan, because the site is all about the drop-off line, schools of fish and the possibility of turtle encounters rather than a simple flat reef.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Do not dive when current sets north; plan the no-current window with the local center.
Access Restrictions
The site is dived from a local center, and north-setting current is the no-go signal.
Legal Notes
Follow the local dive-center briefing and current restrictions for the site.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The main draw is the plateau-and-drop-off line, where the terrain changes quickly from the shelf into the wall.
Freediving
Not a freedive site; the depth and current make it a scuba dive.
Snorkeling
Too deep and current-sensitive for casual snorkelling.
