Plongée caraibes

Welcome to the French island of Saint Barthelemy. This little paradise is part of the French West Indies ( F.W.I.) and deserves to be known by divers. In fact, for a number of years, St. Barths has had a Marine Reserve where all forms of fishing are prohibited. Anchoring on the coral reefs is also prohibited, resulting in a spectacular underwater world. An exceptional variety of sealife flourishes in this part of Caribbean. From the smallest colorful reef fish to bigger predators such a nurse sharks, tarpons, and barracudas, all these fishes are friendly, in St-Barth you dive in total safety.Scuba diving in St Barths is for everybody with numerous dive spots ( 22 different dives in The Marine Reserve alone) from 20 to 99 feet deep; coral reefs, caves, canyons.... all in 82/84°F crystal clear water. Plongée Caraïbes is a St. Barths PADI dive school offering all certifications from Discover Scuba Diving to Dive Master certificate. The professional and friendly dive instructors speak french, english, and german. Whether you are planning to take your first dive or are an experienced diver, St. Barths is an ideal location for diving. The island is situated on a coral plate and the maximum depth available is approximately 90 feet. The dive spots are no more than 5 to 20 minutes from the harbor of Gustavia. There are reefs, caves, canyons and 4 wrecks in the area (3 fishing boats and a yacht that went down with the last hurricane). Sea turtles, rays, eels, tarpon fish, and baby nurse sharks are very common. The coral is colorful and everything in the water is friendly. In the winter there are whales that you can hear singing. In the summer you will occasionally see dolphins.
