    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    La Chaise drops to 29 metres, making it a good spot for newer divers looking to explore a little deeper in Cousteau Reserve. We often see southern stingrays resting on the sandy bottom, along with schools of snapper around the coral patches. It’s a pretty relaxed dive, with minimal current, perfect for getting comfortable with your buoyancy. Expect a gentle drift through some classic Caribbean reef scenery.
