Recently rediscovered as a favorite dive hot spot, the area is characterized by bubbles of warm water oozing from the sandy bottom and the shallower parts of the reef. The bubbles are from volcanic vents below the substrate. This reef is a sloping wall which quickly disappears into the deep. At the sandy bottom are sand eels and a variety of smaller critters including frog fish.
There are two reasons this dive site boasts the name of Superman's flight. First, the cliffs above the Petit Piton where the site is located were used to film Superman II. The second reason lies in the currents. Drift divers can slowly travel past rows of coral and schools of fish as the current pushes them across the reef, just like Superman flying across the sky. The current isn't too aggressive, though, making this spot dive-friendly for all levels. Entry to the water is at the base of Petit Piton towering 2619 ft/805m above you. This sloping wall dive has a depth of around 1500 ft/461m. You will see massive fluorescent sponges, large gorgonians and many species of colorful tropical fish. This is a “must-do” Soufriere dive.
Located at the base of the 2438 ft/750m Gros Piton, which towers above you. The depth on this site ranges from 15 ft/5m to 90 ft/27m. Visually stunning scenery is present both above and below the water. Plenty of five-finger corals and lots of juvenile reef fish make this a favorite diving and snorkeling site.
At the base of the Petit Piton, one of the volcanic plugs that overlook Saint Lucia, there is a sharp cliff and dramatic wall the plunges hundreds of feet below the surface. Divers of all experience levels can access the wall by boat and explore a variety of animals and critters that swim around this formation. It is covered with sea whips, gorgonians, delicate soft corals and lots of feather duster worms. This is a dive site where the view above the water is just as impressive as the view below. At the end of the day, put up your flippers and open a bottle of Piton, the island's local beer, to share your stories from the dive sites. Your friends won't believe what you saw and what the reefs looked like unless they were there with you!
