When the walls of a gorge shimmer violet and yellow, it can only be one thing in this area: hundreds of gorgonians spreading their magnificent fans.
This unique terrain creates a very special atmosphere.
Countless fireworms cling to the horn corals.
The channeling of the current makes this dive site the ideal drift spot, where one or another sardine, bass or cod school accompanies the ride. With a bit of luck, you might even encounter octopuses patrolling along the rock wall or hiding in the niches.
The dive begins on a plateau at a depth of 3 to 8 m.
Alain's drops directly from 8 m to 90 m and is traversed by the gorge.
The magic of it is the visibility. It is almost always crystal clear, so you can see almost the entire cliff at a glance, from the surface to the bottom.
Small tip, always pay attention to your depth, the clear visibility can tempt you to go deeper than the sport diving limit allows.
