La Cheminée
★★★★☆
(415)
Fifteen metres below the surface, a natural chimney of basalt rock filled with lobsters and other soldier fish leads you eight metres down under an arch from where you can explore a small network of faults on one side or emerge from the gloom to wander between white sand and rock tongue on the other.
On this dive, with its mountainous terrain, you’ll discover parrot fish, magnificent gorgonians, not forgetting the tuna and barracuda that often visit.
