About this site
La Piscine, also known as Solomon's Pool, is a drift-style dive among rocky scree off the Anses d'Arlet in Martinique, with depths from the surface down to 40 metres. Light currents carry divers along the scree and can take them on towards the neighbouring Cap Salomon site.
This is the best place to watch barracuda, with adults reaching 1.90 metres in length, while the juveniles stay hidden in the mangroves. Captain fish work the sandy strip at the base of the drop-off for sea urchins, molluscs and crustaceans, and a motorbike wreck lies in the rocky scree.
