About Sharky
Sharky is a boat dive off Saint-François, reached on the open-water run between Pointe des Châteaux and La Désirade. Expect a rocky plateau with overhangs rather than a coral garden, with nurse sharks and mixed reef life using the shelter. It is best planned as a guided exploration dive for calmer days, when the ride and the water stay more manageable.
