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.

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.
