    Pointe aux Cachalots offers a relaxed dive in Grand Lagoon. We've often found small reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections, and the coral structures here are home to plenty of angelfish and parrotfish. It’s a good spot for a second dive of the day, or for newer divers looking for calm conditions and a pleasant, easy exploration.
