The underwater world of Marie - Galante/ Plongez a Marie-Galante!


The island with three rum distilleries, the island of the 100 windmills, the island of sugar cane...there are a few different names for Marie-Galante, the round island south-east of Guadeloupe! I will also call it the place for zen-diving:-) It is absolutely wild underwater, there are no crowds of divers, but schools of fishes, huge sponges and curious sea inhabitants looking at you with a question mark in their eyes! Enjoy the encounters I have captured for you and if you ever make it there, do go diving with the best diving school of the island "ManBalaou"!

WOW, I am most impressed with the life under the water. I have never been that far under water and I think I would so enjoy the beauty. I am most curious about the little guy with the big questionable eye - too cute for words, but do you know what he is. The shells, the sponge, the ?olde cane chutes, the coral - such an adventure for you and such a pleasurable watch for me. Thanks Jana for the virtual trip to all this beauty just below the water :) Have a wonderful day.

Looks like a wonderful place for diving, especially without the crowds - very relaxing.
