Manao Dive

Escape the crowds and explore pristine Guadeloupe reefs with a private guide on a dedicated boat.

Manao Dive is a private dive center based in Bouillante on the Basse-Terre peninsula of Guadeloupe, operating from the Galet Malendure beach and Anse à la Barque. The team, led by guides Benoit and Cathy, runs small-group excursions (maximum 8 divers) to approximately twenty low-traffic sites scattered between Bouillante, Les Saintes, and Marie-Galante. The operation focuses on intimate, private experiences aboard their boat "Prestige," offering everything from introductory baptisms at 6 meters to deep explorations reaching 40 or even 60 meters. Trips typically depart in the morning (8:00 AM) for a half-day duration of two dives, with options for guided or autonomous diving depending on certification level. Beyond recreational trips, Manao Dive provides full training programs through French national agencies ANMP/GUIDE and FFESSM/CMAS. They offer certifications ranging from Niveau 1 (20m) to Niveau 3 (60m), as well as specific qualifications for autonomous diving at 20m or 40m depths.
