Pointe Carangue

Also known as: Pointe Carrangue · La Pointe aux Carangues · La Pointe Carangues

Pointe Carangue starts on a plateau covered with gorgonians and sponges that slopes gently from around 8 to 12 m down to about 20 to 22 m. Beyond it a wall falls away to around 40 m. Small cavities in the encrusted slope shelter spiny lobsters, slipper lobsters, porcupinefish and moray eels. Groupers, boxfish, trumpetfish and turtles are also named by the dive centres, which open the site to divers from Level 1 or Open Water.
