About Platax
Platax is a deep Port-Louis wall dive in Guadeloupe, dropping off the offshore shelf into blue water before reaching a coral-rich face. The site is built for experienced scuba divers who want big sponges, gorgonians, and the chance of rays and batfish rather than a shallow reef cruise. Plan it as a boat dive with advanced depth planning and conservative gas management.
