Vieux-Fort is a coastal town in Guadeloupe, a French overseas region in the Caribbean. It lies on the Caribbean Sea side and serves as a gateway to nearby dive sites along the northwest coast. The area hosts a handful of local dive centers and access points for boat trips to nearby reefs and walls. Water is typically warm, with calm conditions at shore dive sites and moderate visibility offshore. Given its size and regional role, diving is a practical option for visitors staying in the area, though the city itself is more of a gateway than a major dive hub.
