La Bombarde

Divers are dropped off the eastern tip of Ilet à Cabrit and descend through blue water to a wall rich in mountain star coral, sponges and fish. The route then crosses a field of fan, plume and branching gorgonians at about 12 m. Cardinalfish, butterflyfish, porcupinefish, boxfish, morays and lobsters are common, with barracuda overhead and occasionally large tarpon coming in from open water. The last hundred metres lead into the shallow Ti'Jardin coral garden, which allows a gradual ascent. Pisquettes compares the wall to that of the Cousteau Reserve.
