Atlantis Plongee

Cross Over is a dive site dedicated to training new SSI instructors in Guadeloupe.It is a flat dive site, 5 meters deep, with sand and, depending on the season, many starfish, but also fish and green turtles who are curious about diving instructor candidates.

A long time ago, the Malendure rock collapsed into the ocean, creating this shallow dive site. La Caye is Malendure’s nursery. Depths range from 4m to 18m for the more adventurous; this site is accessible to all.

This hourglass freighter 50 m deep was built in Denmark in 1958. It sailed to Copenhagen and then to La Rochelle in the 70s. The Franjack lies flat on her keel on a sandy bottom at 24 m in good general condition except for the forward cabin which is collapsed.

This hourglass freighter of 49 m by about 7.50 m was launched in 1953 under the name of GEOCEANIQUE and renamed GUSTAVIA in 1982. After a thorough clean-up, she was sunk as an artificial reef in 1991 about 1 mile from the Malendure rock at Bouillante, the wreck lies upright on a sand bottom at 40 m.

Shallow site but rich in juvenile fish, crabs that wander on the sand as well as morays and snappers in the open water. If you are observant, you may even be lucky enough to see barracudas passing by. If you take the time to look around, you will find many small creatures.

The pearl of Malendure. Just mention the name of this site to a local Instructor and see the flame in their eyes. It is possible to make this a drift dive towards Japanese Garden or Anse Négresse.
