Saint Yves
The Trou de Saint-Yves is one of the best-known dive sites in the Bay of Arcachon, opposite the Villa Saint-Yves and close to the Chapelle jetty in Arcachon. It is a relatively deep natural pit in the basin, which has become an iconic spot for local divers.
The site is located off rue Saint-François-d'Assise, in the Ville d'Automne district of Arcachon, and is usually launched from the shore.
