Programme- Meeting & Preparation:
We welcome you at our dive centre 30 minutes before the time stated on your booking confirmation. You will meet your instructor, who will provide you with your equipment, and then join the boat. During the trip towards the spot chosen for the day, in the Cousteau Reserve, you will be given a briefing: you will be shown how to use your equipment and receive information about the site where you will dive.
- Diving:
The Réserve Cousteau is not one of the most popular diving sites in Guadeloupe for nothing: you will find an abundance of rich underwater fauna and flora that you can safely admire with your instructor who will put you at ease while showing you the species present. For 20 or 30min, depending on the option chosen, you will evolve in this tropical paradise setting, creating lots of unforgettable memories! Before and after your tour, you can swim around the boat or simply relax on board.
- Return:
Once the dive is over, the boat will take you back to the diving centre. You can clean the equipment there and then enjoy the facilities on site (shower, toilets). After that, why not stay a little longer, enjoying the view from the terrace and admiring the Pigeon Islands this time from the mainland?

Great! We came as a couple for a 30-minute introductory dive. We did it at a spot called "The Aquarium," which was absolutely beautiful, full of coral, vibrant colors, and fish, including two barracudas. The instructors are super friendly and very reassuring for those who are apprehensive. They offer drinks while you wait, and/or snorkeling.
