L'Arche de Noël
★★★★☆
(120)
0-45m - An outcropping arch 20m below the surface and resting on the bottom by 42m. The beauty and interest of this spot lies in its relief of peaks and plateaux. As you continue out to sea, do a bit of caving in the small tunnel that can be seen when you come up slightly.
There are plenty of coral fish, and it’s not unusual to find crustaceans buried in the cracks and, by chance, come across a stingray rising from the depths.
