Nord Department

Haiti

The site is characterized by a fringing reef with fans and soft corals.  A good place to spot squid and flamingo tongue snails on the purple sea gorgonian fans.  It is wise to have a boat to follow you on the dive as the current can be swift giving you no choice but to do a drift dive. Long shore currents are frequently from East to West as prevailing winds are from the Northeast.  Best to dive in the mornings when the North coast gets less waves and wind. 

To get to Trois Maries you need to hire a boat from Baie de l'Acul - Balan or Piatre small ports (30min) or hire  a boat taxi from Labadie (45 min.). Each will cost 1500 - 2000 gourdes or 40-50 USD round trip.  The barrier reef is only accessible from a boat as the nearby beach is surrounded by very shallow reef.
