Boat-access coral garden with gentle Caribbean conditions.
Boat-access coral garden with gentle Caribbean conditions.
Jardin de Fajou is a calm Guadeloupe coral garden on the edge of Fajou island, with a shallow, boat-accessed profile that suits relaxed scuba, freediving, and snorkeling. The reef mixes gorgonians, sponges, brain coral, and lots of small reef life, so you can spend the dive moving slowly and reading the garden rather than pushing depth. It is the kind of site that works best when you want an easy Caribbean reef with enough structure to stay interesting.
