Guadeloupe dive-site listing with La Main Jaune depth and area context.
Dive Spot Guide•
La Main Jaune
La Main Jaune is a short boat dive with a coral drop-off.
La Main Jaune suits divers who want a quick Saint-François boat run, a shallow reef-and-sand route, and easy-to-read drop-off structure.
About La Main Jaune
La Main Jaune is a Saint-François boat dive built around a hand-shaped sand patch beside a coral reef. The route runs out and back along the reef edge to a small drop-off where lobsters and other reef life gather, so it feels more like a guided reef circuit than a long open-water swim. It is a good fit for divers who want a short boat run, a shallow profile, and plenty of close-range life.
