Why dive here
With 331+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and manta rays - Anse à La Barque offers some of Cousteau Reserve's richest diving. Water sits around 28°C.
Anse à La Barque is a decent spot in the Cousteau Reserve, especially if you’re new to diving or just want a relaxed afternoon. The reef here is pretty gentle, a gradual slope down to about 20 metres. You’ll find plenty of small reef fish flitting about and we often spot southern stingrays tucked into the sandy patches. It's calm, usually, making it a good confidence builder before tackling some of the reserve’s more exposed sites.
