Plongeoir (1&2)
★★★★☆
(37)
An ideal site for beginners and open water training. The site is best explored from east to west or vice versa, depending on the current. Avoid going too far south, as you risk getting too close to the island. The seabed offers varied conditions, with a maximum depth of 18 meters.
The local flora and fauna are ideal for night dives; it’s not uncommon to encounter lobsters, slipper lobsters, cuttlefish, porcupinefish, moray eels, stingrays...
