Why dive here
With 314+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Canyons de Babodie offers some of Saint-Pierre's richest wall diving. Water sits around 27°C.
The Canyons de Babodie, just off Saint-Pierre, offers a unique geological dive. Here, volcanic rock formations create dramatic swim-throughs and narrow canyons, giving the site a distinct feel compared to typical reef dives. We often spot schooling fish sheltering within the crevices, and the occasional turtle glides past in the blue. It’s a good choice for divers looking for something a bit different, focused more on topography than dense coral.
