Soufriere-Scott's Head Marine Reserve
Explore a Marine Reserve that was rated among the top 10 in "Top 100 Pacific Dive Destinations" and ranked in the top five for photography, healthiest reefs and critters. This huge, submerged volcanic crater is one of the most extensive and pristine dive environments in the Caribbean. There are many Carib legends associated with its waters, which adds to its immense appeal.

L'Abym is a vertical wall that starts at 40 feet and drops to 2,000 feet deep. You'll be at a maximum depth of 60 feet for approximately 40 minutes. The wall is dramatically cloaked with sponges, schooling reef fish, and sometimes turtles.
Dive Site 2: Point Guinarde
