What To Expect
After a welcome coffee, we head to our first site, between Pointe Burgos and Pointe Lézarde. A true festival of turquoise blues and tropical fish: sergeants major, trumpet fish, lobsters, barracudas... Here, everyone lives their experience at their own pace: snorkeling or bottle diving, anything is possible, and the decision can even be made on the spot. Baptisms and explorations are supervised by our state-certified instructors. For even more sensations, try our water playground! Hammocks under the boat, swing forward, Jane and Tarzan jump... sensations and crazy laughter guaranteed! At the end of the morning, we reach the village of Anses d’Arlet, nicknamed “turtle paradise”. After a friendly aperitif, make way for a delicious barbecue on board. The afternoon is dedicated to fun and discovery: swimming with turtles, paddles. Want even more adventure? Experience the thrill of the underwater scooter and let yourself be carried at full speed underwater! We end this memorable day by quietly returning to Grande Anse, where we share a nightcap before escorting you ashore

5.00A wonderful day, the beautiful memory of our stay. Diving baptism for the whole family, even the most anxious who enjoyed well. Meals at the top, perseverance of Zoe at the top to find a turtle and to film it for us, boat well equipped for a day where young and old find their way!!! I recommend++

5.00Superb day in small committee (8) very nice and conducive to exchange. Chloe and Olivier are in the care. Welcoming coffee and briefing to get started. Bottle diving in the morning at Anse Dufour with Chloé and another diver at 11m perfect to get back there! Then top meal with a wide choice of rum and to finish top Creole coffee with a soft chocolate and a homemade chantilly flavored with rum (a delight). Afternoon snorkling at Anse Noir: fish, turtles, corals: we never tire of it. Possibility to paddle, nap hammock under the boat or jump from Tarzan! In short, a big thank you to the whole Atoa team for a great day. For those who do not like the crowd not to be missed! I will come back for other outings or to pass my level 1 diving next time ..
Perfect.

5.00Very nice catamaran day! The team is attentive, and see a real desire to do everything to enhance our stay. The team was also concerned about food security (allergies/intolerance). The meal served was excellent. We saw plenty of fish and reefs, as well as a turtle. These snorkel with us to make us see them more! The team takes pictures of very good quality and shares them the same day. Very nice day, I advise without hesitation!
Such a great experience –...

5.00Such a great experience – small group, high-quality gear, and beautiful spots. It wasn’t just snorkeling; there were swings, hammocks, and sun lounges to enjoy too. The food was amazing (entrée, BBQ, dessert, coffee, afternoon treats and drinks), and everything felt safe and well-organised. Highly recommend!
Great day

5.00Very pleasant experience. We were a small group of 10 people, unlike several other excursions offered in groups of 20 people. Very friendly and warm atmosphere. Before noon in a dive site to observe many fish. We had Alexander as a diving instructor for the baptism and he was very professional and reassuring. The hosts are very friendly and have prepared us a delicious meal for dinner. Afternoon at another dive site where we could observe turtles. It was the most beautiful day of our entire trip. I recommend!

5.00Congratulations to the whole team, especially to Zoe for her kindness, her succulent dishes, her availability, her unlimited rum tastings. We celebrated my wife's birthday with our three boys, our two beautiful pregnant daughters both. Dream day with of course swimming with turtles, landing of course the boat and jumping into the water at will.
Excellent shipping

5.00Excellent day spent on the catamaran of Olivier despite a capricious weather. The welcome and availability of Olivier and Zoe are remarkable, as are their information on the marine environment. And to complete everything: a very pleasant meal on the boat. Do not hesitate a moment. Discover with Atao diving the Caribbean coast of Martinique.
Very disappointing

2.00Avoid it. In fact, this is a very small walk on an old catamaran whose sail has not even been taken out. We went to the end of the Anse, that is, 200m from the beach... we could have swam in about as much time. Frankly very disappointing. It’s catchy... I strongly advise against paying so much for an outing that has so little interest.

5.00You know there are activities that you never tire of and landscapes that you become addicted to. I had the chance to come to Martinique 4 times and I spend a day snorkeling / diving with the fantastic team of Atao Dive systematically. The big plus is its family atmosphere and bon vivant! For the record, I started with snorkeling and lazing on the boat, then tried diving baptism. And I love it!!! All this to say that there really is something for everyone. The crew is really professional while making you feel perfectly comfortable. Kind of like you're at home. Passionate about the marine environment, Chloe and Zoe share their knowledge about species and make recommendations on what is possible to see depending on the place. Turtle lover, I saw them every time, so trust them with their eyes closed 😊. Thanks also to Olivier, the captain of the boat who supervised me at my christening. Reassuring, comfortable at once, it offers you the opportunity to discover a magical world where wonder is in order. I have already recommended to relatives who also had a great day. So if there is in my opinion an unmissable attraction it is this! Thanks again to the whole team! See you next 😉
