Réserve Cousteau
Since 2009 the marine area around the island Pigeon is protected and called “Réserve Cousteau“, in reference to Jacques-Yves Cousteau. The dive pioneer shot parts of its movie “Le Monde de Silence” here and strongly campaigned to protect this maritime treasure. It became a territory classified as the heart of Guadeloupe National Park , it benefits from one of the most important protection status according to the criteria of the International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN), where the establishment strives to combine environmental protection with development of economic activities.
With an 20 minute boat ride we reach the “îlets Pigeon”, where beautiful dive spots like “L’Aquarium” or “Le Jardin de Corail” are waiting. More advanced divers can enjoy an impressive drop off or search for hot thermal springs. In honor of captain Cousteau a statue was placed under water and as become a popular spot for divers.
