    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Pointe Lézarde, tucked inside Cousteau Reserve, is a really mellow intro to Guadeloupe diving. The site tops out at 21 meters, making it a comfortable spot for newer divers to get their fins wet. We’ve had some lovely, unhurried drifts here, watching garden eels peek out from the sandy patches and juvenile drum darting around the rocky outcrops. It’s not a dramatic wall dive, but for a relaxed afternoon with plenty of light, it’s a good choice.
