Gros Ilets
17° 54.0′ N · 62° 51.6′ W
The rocky islets just west of Gustavia's outer anchorage, with six dive sites around them - drop-offs to about 30 m, boulders, swim-throughs and schools of jacks and barracuda.
Practical
OpenStreetMap islet position. Reserve sector with Pain de Sucre: no anchoring or fishing; keep 5 knots within 100 m. Sources disagree on difficulty - some describe sheltered, shallow training sites for all levels, others strong currents for experienced drift divers; ask your operator about the day's current. Two wrecks reported at about 20 m nearby.
