Steep Bequia reef that turns into a current-driven drift.
A local operator or guide is helpful because the site is current-driven and access is from a remote stretch of coast.
L’Anse Chemin/Long Point is a steep Bequia reef dive that starts shallow and rolls down into a current-driven drift along the point. The site feels compact but active, with coral heads and boulders giving the slope structure while the current shapes how far and how fast you travel. It suits advanced divers who are happy to work with the water movement, keep the route tight and finish with a controlled shallow run-out.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Plan the dive around current conditions and treat the point as a drift-oriented reef rather than a relaxed static reef.
Access Restrictions
Use the site only when current and access conditions are suitable; it is not a good choice for casual independent entry.
Legal Notes
No special permit is noted, but local direction matters because the site is remote and current-sensitive.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Use the current along the slope, then let the point shallows bring the dive back under control for the finish.
Freediving
Not ideal for freediving because the site is better handled as a current-sensitive scuba dive.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel site; the current-driven reef profile is better suited to scuba.
