Nahoon Wreck
The Nahoon shipwreck is one of the best dives in Martinique. Here, diving is recommended for advanced divers. The boat was purposefully sunk in 1993 by a few dive centers and the Regional Tourism Committee, aiming at building an artificial reef for divers. Today it lies flat at 35m/114ft deep on a sandy bottom. On the way down, divers can see the last mast standing up, with its rigging swinging around in the current.

Scuba diving is available all year-round. Average air temperatures range from 22 -30C/72 -86F. Water temperature averages are 29C/84.2F in Summer and 26C/78,8F in Winter. The depth of the site is 40m/131ft. Average visibility 10-30m/32-98ft.
What to see
Check out the main deck and the impressive wheel, the dock and the forward cabin: a stunning amount of marine life has settled down there, including barracudas, snappers, crawfish, trevallies, and giant morays.
