    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Jardin de Corail, in Guadeloupe's Cousteau Reserve, is a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed dive. We found good coral structures, home to a decent number of reef fish. Visibility is generally reliable here, making it an easy-going dive where you can take your time to explore. It’s not a thrill-seeker's dive, but it’s a pleasant way to spend an hour underwater.
