Centre Subaquatique des Ilets

Centre Subaquatique des Ilets sits directly on the sand at Plage de Malendure in Bouillante, on The Guadeloupe Islands. It's a PADI Dive Center with a waterfront location, so the walk from the car park to the water is about as short as diving gets.

Courses and who it suits

Four PADI Instructors run the teaching here, covering PADI Scuba Diving and PADI Snorkelling. That makes the centre a straightforward choice whether you're stepping into the water for the first time or adding another certification, and children's equipment sizes mean families can dive or snorkel together.

Rental gear is comprehensive: BCDs, regulators, dive computers, gauges, masks and snorkels, open-heel fins, compasses, flashlights, steel cylinders, and both shorty and 3mm wetsuits. Air fills are available on site. Staff speak English and French, and the centre opens daily from 09:00 AM, closing at 05:30 PM most days and 05:00 PM on Tuesdays.
