Practical Advices
OUR TROPICAL CLIMATE
There are two seasons in Martinique: the dry season from December to May and the wet season from June to November. The latter is not very marked and it is therefore very pleasant to come to Martinique all year round.
Visiting our island in certain months of the wet season is even very advantageous because plane tickets are cheaper and there are fewer people on the island!
If you choose to come in May and June, it hardly rains, the temperatures are warm (air and water) and there is no wind: ideal weather for diving! </ p >
The weather does not affect the quality of the water when diving. As we do not have a river that flows into the sea at Anses D’Arlet, the water never becomes cloudy and we maintain our visibility of 40 meters all year round.
In diving, the maximum temperatures are observed in July-August with 30°C at the hottest. In December-January we record temperatures around 26°C: it’s a little cooler!
This is why in the center, we offer 4mm shorty wetsuits, but also 3mm long wetsuits that keep you cool in the dry season.
YOUR HEALTH
There is no vaccine or anti-malaria treatment needed to come to this tropical area. This doesn’t mean that we don’t have mosquitoes. Little present during the day, our friends make their appearance at nightfall. For the evening, plan on long clothes and mosquito repellent. If you don’t want to be too hassle, choose a rental that is high and airy. In the evening before going to bed, lightly air-condition your room to cool it down. Even if the perceived outside temperature is not the same depending on the season, there is one constant: the sun! You have to think about protecting yourself. Sunscreen is essential. For diving, we recommend a hat and sunglasses because on the boat we are close to the surface of the water and there is reverberation. Also, when you are snorkeling and don’t have a boyshort, consider putting on a t-shirt.
LIFE ON THE ISLAND
As in Metropolitan France, electricity is 220 volts, water is running and potable and the currency used is the euro. We are in the same time zone as New York City on the East Coast of the United States. When the Metropolis is in winter time, we have a 5 hour shift and when it is summer time, we have a 6 hour shift. For us, little difference throughout the year on the sunrise and the coachman. It is daylight around 6:00 a.m. and the sun sets around 6:00 p.m. This leaves you 12 noon to visit our island: to get around, we advise you to rent a car. The distances do not seem important but the roads are winding! And to fully enjoy the scenery, in addition to the swimsuit and flip-flops, consider putting a pair of walking shoes in the suitcase.
Where to find us?
Our Alpha Plongée center is located on the beach of Grande Anse d’Arlet, about 200m to the right of the pontoon, looking out to sea. We are in the middle of the pedestrian street which runs along the seaside, between the restaurants ” Bidjoul ”and“ Les Arcades ”.
If you decide to join us by car, you can park in the large car park which overlooks the road opposite the grocery store. It is indicated by a large blue sign. To find us, all you have to do is cross the road and slip between two rows of houses.
