Boat-accessed deep Cessna wreck off Port-Louis.
A local Port-Louis dive operator is the practical way to reach the site.
L’avion is a boat-accessed wreck off Port-Louis in Guadeloupe, where a Cessna rests on sand in a deep, sheltered pocket. The aircraft is the clear focus of the dive, with the cockpit, wings, and surrounding coral growth giving it a compact but rewarding wreck profile. It is best approached as an advanced plan with a local operator, since the depth and structure make it a controlled wreck exploration rather than a casual sightseeing stop.
