Why dive here
With 331+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and manta rays - Anse Christophe offers some of Cousteau Reserve's richest diving. Water sits around 28°C.
Anse Christophe is a pretty mellow dive in Cousteau Reserve, a solid choice for those just getting their fins wet or wanting a relaxed afternoon. The maximum depth here is 20 metres, making it comfortable for newer divers to cruise around. You'll find yourself drifting past scattered coral patches and sponges, often home to parrotfish grazing the reef and smaller schooling fish like grunts and snappers. We’ve spotted a few moray eels tucked into the rocks and sometimes a stingray gliding over the sandy bottom. It's a gentle introduction to Guadeloupe's underwater world, easy to navigate, and generally free of strong currents.
