The mountain does half the work here. Petit Piton plunges straight into the sea, and the current bending around its base carries divers along the drowned continuation of the spire, a slope quilted with sea whips, vase sponges, and gorgonians nodding in the flow. The site took its name from a flying sequence filmed over the Pitons for Superman II, and the sensation holds up: hands folded, gently airborne, scenery scrolling past. Turtles punctuate the glide, and the shallows at the exit fill with fry balls and needlefish inside the marine reserve.
