La Caye Philippeau

La Caye Philippeau is a local dive site near the southern Martinique towns of Rivière-Pilote, Le Marin, and Sainte-Anne. The site is generally accessed by short coastal runs and offers a calm, tropical backdrop typical of Caribbean reefs. Divers should expect shallow to moderate depths and clear, oceanic water with healthy coral growth and a variety of reef fish common to Caribbean habitats. Entry is from shore or a short boat transfer depending on conditions, with site features that may include coral heads, gentle channels, and small ledges suitable for beginner to intermediate divers. As with many Caribbean sites, conditions can change with trade winds; plan for current and surface conditions accordingly. Nearby towns provide convenient access to centers, rental gear, and local guidance.
