SEACRETDIVE - Cousteau Reserve
SEACRETDIVE operates right on the edge of Cousteau Reserve, a prime spot for exploring Guadeloupe’s underwater landscape. They’re a solid choice if you’re looking to get your Diamond certification, an interesting alternative to the usual agencies. We like their small boat approach, often meaning fewer divers per trip and a more relaxed pace. The dive sites here are generally close, so you're not spending half your day on transit, which is always a bonus.
