Why dive here
With 288+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Le tombant de colombier offers some of Sandy Island's richest wall diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Le Tombant de Colombier, just off Sandy Island, is a nice, relaxed wall dive in Anguilla. It’s not going to blow your fins off with huge pelagics, but for a beginner-friendly 20-meter drop, it's a solid choice. We often see moray eels poking out of crevices and plenty of reef fish darting around the coral patches along the wall. The sandy bottom at the base is usually good for spotting garden eels if you take a moment. It’s a comfortable dive, perfect for getting back into things or for newer divers looking for a gentle Caribbean experience.
