DEEP TURTLE PLONGEE is a well-established diving center (recreational and Tek Dives) in South Martinique, welcoming divers of all levels and origins, 365 days per year. Nicolas PRIEUR, its director, is also the representative of the French West Indies & Guyana commercial structures to the French Federation. Since our creation 8 years ago, we have been already involved in communication of best practices with our divers, and the protection of our martinican under water biodiversity. We participate to different local programs such as identification and protection of sea turtles (nest tracking, turtle counting), helping with lionfish non proliferation, abandoned Fishing Trap Recovery Operations, and setting up clean moorings.
