About this dive site

This dive site, Tombant des Grottes, features an impressive drop-off, with depths reaching 17 meters according to provided information, though the natural formation itself is described as ranging from 20 to 50 meters. Divers can explore a rich flat leading to the wall, adorned with vibrant Alcyonaria. While no specific navigation history is available, typical exploration would involve following the contours of the drop-off and investigating the diverse life on the flat.

The marine life here is exceptionally diverse and abundant. Divers frequently encounter Ribbon moray eels and Spotted moray eels dwelling in crevices. Flights of majestic eagle rays are a common sight gliding gracefully in the blue, and it’s not unusual to have close encounters with playful dolphins.
