La Caye d'Obian is a marine cave site located off Cap Salomon, Martinique. Reaching depths of up to 21 metres, the site is suitable for beginners who can explore the shallower sections. Access is by boat, and the area typically experiences mild currents. The primary feature is the cave, though divers must exercise caution regarding a silting hazard; fin-kicking near the bottom can quickly reduce visibility and cause disorientation. Divers should remain mindful of the cave environment and potential silting throughout the dive. Water temperatures remain warm, ranging from 27 to 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year.

Inside the cave, avoid fin-kicking near the bottom as the silting hazard can cloud the water fast and disorient less experienced divers. Check locally for current boat operator options and facility availability before your trip.
