Martinique

Martinique offers Caribbean sea diving around its volcanic islands with clear tropical water and gentle to moderate currents. The north coast and offshore reefs host diverse corals, sponges, and a range of tropical fish, while sheltered bays around Fort-de-France provide easier conditions for beginners.

Expect visibility commonly good and water temperatures in the mid-20s°C year-round, with seasonal changes bringing variable seas. Overall, Martinique provides a straightforward Caribbean dive experience suitable for recreational divers, with opportunities for shore or boat dives and some deeper sites offshore.
