This dive site, La Cathedrale, is located north of Port-Louis in Guadeloupe. It features a prominent large bell-shaped grotto with an optional entrance, offering an exciting exploration for experienced divers. Adjacent to the grotto is a beautiful coral reef aligned on a north/south axis, complete with a semi-open arch that divers can swim through, adding to the scenic underwater topography.
The reef and grotto are teeming with life. Inside the cave, divers can discover numerous warty crabs, lobsters, and various cave shrimps. The surrounding coral reef is rich with diverse coral species and a wide array of fish. Divers should also keep an eye out into the blue, as there's potential to spot larger marine animals passing by.
While no specific best time to visit is mentioned, the site's varied features make it a year-round attraction. It is suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers, with an average depth of 11 meters making it accessible for snorkelers in shallower reef areas. Divers should be aware of the overhead environment when entering the grotto.
