Best for beginner divers, 3-22m, boat entry, mild current.
La Cathedrale is a diverse marine site off Sainte-Anne, Guadeloupe, defined by tall coral formations that create a cathedral-like structure. Divers navigate through these vertical features, which span depths from 3 to 22 metres. The site combines reef, cave, and drop-off topography, offering varied underwater terrain. Conditions are generally mild, with visibility ranging from 15 to 30 metres and water temperatures between 27 and 30C. Access is by boat only. Due to the presence of sharp coral and potential current shifts near the drop-off, divers should maintain careful buoyancy control and confirm conditions with their operator before descending.

Watch your buoyancy carefully around the coral formations as the rock surfaces are sharp and the structure is fragile. Confirm current conditions with your operator before descending, as the mild average can shift, particularly around the drop-off.
