About this dive site
Volcanic sand slopes beneath the Pitons with critters and turtles.
Anse Chastanet’s house reef drops from black sand in view of the Pitons. Frogfish, seahorses and flying gurnards reward macro divers while hawksbills cruise the shallow hard coral.
Most trips target December - May, but wind, swell and current still decide the day's site. Calendar peak is December - May, but skippers still move sites when wind, swell or current change. Book with a crew that knows Saint Lucia day to day, not just the map pin.
