Yes, Anse Chastanet is one of the best shore dives in St. Lucia. The reef begins just 10 metres from the beach in waters only 1-2 metres deep. The Anse Chastanet Resort operates a dive facility right on the beach, making it exceptionally convenient. You can dive multiple times a day without a boat.

The reef is rich in macro life including seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish, and octopus. Barrel sponges and brain corals create the structure, while French angelfish, flying gurnards, and parrotfish add colour and movement. The volcanic sand around the reef edges provides habitat for unique critters not found on typical Caribbean reefs.

Absolutely. The reef's shallow depth of 5-18 metres, calm conditions, and easy shore access make it ideal for beginners. The resort offers Discover Scuba programs and training courses right on the reef. Even snorkelers can enjoy the abundant marine life in the shallowest sections near shore.

The Lesleen M sits upright on a sandy bottom at about 20 metres, with the top of the mast reaching to approximately 8 metres. This shallow profile makes it accessible to Open Water divers and allows for generous bottom times. The wreck was specifically sunk at this depth to create an artificial reef accessible to recreational divers.

The Lesleen M was a 50-metre (165-foot) coastal freighter that operated in the Caribbean. In 1986, she was deliberately sunk in Anse Cochon Bay to create an artificial reef and dive attraction. She was cleaned of pollutants and prepared for divers before sinking. The wreck has since become St. Lucia's premier wreck dive.
