This dive site, Pointe Montagnier, located in Guadeloupe, France, is celebrated for its scenic underwater landscape and as an excellent drift dive. Divers can navigate along its unique 'architecture' formed by rock structures and coral formations, where they might also discover the remains of a submerged Jeep wreck. The site offers a dynamic exploration experience, gently guided by the currents.
The diverse marine life includes abundant fixed fauna such as vibrant sponges, intricate gorgonians, and delicate wire corals. Looking out into the blue, divers often encounter larger pelagic species like barracudas, kingfish, and other schooling fish that frequent the open waters around the point.
Due to its average depth of 10 meters and maximum of 20 meters, Pointe Montagnier is suitable for both scuba diving and freediving, offering beautiful photo opportunities. The drift dive aspect means boat access is preferred, and divers should be prepared for moderate currents to fully enjoy the rich biodiversity and unique topography.
