Dive-site story
Located off the leeward coast of Basse-Terre near Deshaies, Pointe de Ferry features a rocky volcanic spur extending into the Caribbean Sea. The underwater terrain transitions from shallow boulder formations covered in turf algae and sponges to gently sloping coral gardens. Divers follow the contour of the headland, exploring undercut ledges and sand channels where southern stingrays frequently feed.
Volcanic rock structures riddled with crevices hosting lobsters and morays
Leeward Caribbean location typically sheltered from Atlantic swells
Dense populations of reef fish grazing across brain and star coral heads
