Ti'Bulles

Ti'Bulles Plongée is situated in Grand-Bourg, providing access to the untouched marine environments of Marie-Galante. Known as the island of a hundred windmills, this area offers a sense of seclusion that is increasingly rare in the Caribbean, making it an ideal destination for divers seeking a more authentic connection with the underwater world.

The centre has been operating for seven years, building a reputation for simplicity and safety. Whether you are looking for your first breath underwater through a discovery dive or are an experienced diver seeking technical training, the focus remains on providing high-quality, personalised experiences away from the crowds.

The team is led by Muriel and Stéphane, ensuring a professional yet intimate atmosphere. Muriel is a qualified captain who manages surface safety and boat operations, while Stéphane is a state-certified instructor (Moniteur d'État) who leads the underwater sessions.

They offer a dual affiliation, providing both national ANMP certifications and international SSI courses. This allows them to cater to a wide range of divers, from those following local French standards to international travellers looking to progress through the SSI progression.

The centre provides a comprehensive training catalogue through both SSI and ANMP. For beginners, they offer the Basic Diver SSI and the Open Water SSI courses, as well as introductory discovery dives (Baptême).

Experienced divers can progress through the Advanced Diver SSI and Specialty Diver paths, or pursue more advanced national certifications such as N1, N2, and N3. The centre also caters to technical divers with specific training including Pe40, Pa20, Pa40, and technical diving modules.

For those who prefer not to carry their own heavy equipment, the centre offers a selection of rental kit including regulators, BCDs, dive computers, torches for night dives, and long wetsuits.

Training sessions for ANMP courses include the necessary equipment, whereas exploration dives require you to bring your own or arrange for a rental.

The reefs around Grand-Bourg are home to a diverse array of marine life. You can regularly observe various reef fish, large barracuda, and rays gliding over the seabed. Turtles are also a common sight, often found navigating the reef structures.

For those interested in smaller inhabitants, the area hosts a variety of shrimp and various species of spiders. The sandy patches and crevices frequently reveal plates and other interesting invertebrates.

During certain seasons, the waters may also host whales, offering a rare opportunity for sighting these magnificent animals.

The diving conditions in this part of Guadeloupe can vary. You may encounter swell and currents depending on the day, so it is important to check the local conditions before heading out.

While the area is generally conducive to diving, the presence of occasional swell and moving water means that certain sites may be more challenging than others.
