la caverne d'Albi baba

★★★★★ (6)

Dive into the blue down to 40m to discover the drop-off to the Poindimié trench, from here a huge chimney opens up allowing you to descend into a majestic cavern opening onto the summit ridge of the trench at 60m, the bottom is still a long way off at over 300m.

Kingdom of the pelagic, carrangues, tunas, thazars, barracudas, shoal of platax and fusillers and if you are lucky a shoal of albi will wait for you at the exit of the cave.
