Why dive here
With 331+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and manta rays - Epave Le Gustavia offers some of Cousteau Reserve's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Gustavia wreck, sitting upright in the Cousteau Reserve, is one of those sites we always make time for when we're in Guadeloupe. It's an old freighter, sunk intentionally, and over the years, it’s become home to plenty of barracuda and big schools of snapper that hang around the stern. You can swim through the cargo hold, which is now an open cavern for schooling fish, and we usually spot scorpionfish camouflaged on the deck. It’s a pretty straightforward wreck dive, good for anyone comfortable with a bit of penetration and looking for something more than just reef.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
