    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Les Augustins is a popular spot in Cousteau Reserve, mostly a drift dive along a volcanic reef wall. You'll find plenty of gorgonian corals clinging to the rock, with barracuda and schooling jacks often cruising by in the blue. It’s a pretty straightforward dive, good for most experience levels looking for a relaxing cruise past some decent Caribbean reef life. Watch for the occasional turtle munching on sponges near the shallower parts.
