Nahoon Wreck Dive

14° 29.7′ N · 61° 5.7′ W · approximate

An old three-masted sailing ship scuttled in 1994 as an artificial reef off Les Anses-d'Arlet, lying at 35 m with its deck, holds and cabins still intact and home to barracuda and moray eels.

Practical

Martinique tourism gives the depth as 35 m (115 ft) and calls it a popular, easily reached site. O' Fil de l'Eau lists it from the PE40 (40 m) certification level. Exact position not published in our sources: the coordinate is only a placeholder off Pointe Burgos, between Grande Anse and the bourg, so do not navigate to it. Book with an Arlet dive centre, which will moor on site.

An advanced wreck dive close to the Arlet anchorages
