Diving the Piegon Islands

The “Réserve Cousteau“ is located in the commune of Bouillante in Guadeloupe. In this place, commander Jacques-Yves Cousteau filmed several scenes from the film “Le Monde du Silence“ in 1955. Fascinated by the biological diversity of the Caribbean, he encouraged the protection of the Reserve. This task was gladly taken on by the Guadeloupe authorities. Nowadays, the Cousteau Reserve is a must-visit dive site for all divers exploring the Guadeloupe archipelago. In the coral garden in the Cousteau Reserve, you will find the underwater statue of Commander Cousteau, among many other curiosities.
