About L’Anse Chemin/Long Point
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.
