About Rocher du Diamant
Rocher du Diamant is a boat-accessed Caribbean rock dive with a shallow plateau, drop-offs, and a prominent underwater fault. It is best treated as a guided current-aware dive where the sheltered side can feel calm, but the rock, canyons, and deeper lines still give it a serious edge. The main draw is the mix of coral color, volcanic structure, and easy turtle and fish sightings.

Stay on the guide line and treat the fault as a serious feature rather than a free-roam canyon. Currents can change quickly, so this is not a site for casual independent exploration.
