Why dive here
With 657+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue sharks, blue-spotted stingrays and bull sharks - Pointe aux cachalots offers some of Grand Lagoon's richest reef diving.
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.
