About this site
Iles des Arcadins lies off the coast of Haiti, northwest of Port-au-Prince along the Arcadins coastline, an area known for its calm bays and small islets. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 10 metres and is considered a beginner-friendly dive. Divers here have reported Atlantic long-spined sea urchins, Guilding's sea stars, slate pencil urchins, and West Indian sea eggs scattered across the bottom, making the shallow terrain a reasonable spot to look for smaller invertebrate life at an easy pace.
