Practical
Martinique tourism calls Rocher de la Perle a 'secret paradise' for divers, with kingfish, marlin, barracuda and jacks. The islet (Îlet la Perle) is inside the Réserve naturelle marine du Prêcheur - Albert Falco. Position is approximate: just west of the islet, whose centre is at 14.84195, -61.22785 (OSM); dive centres choose the exact spot. Exposed to current and swell; dive with a Saint-Pierre or Le Prêcheur centre rather than from your own boat.
