About this dive site

This dive site presents a unique exploration experience, accessible only during specific tidal windows due to the influence of the EDF hydroelectric dam. The diving is characterized by rocky formations and numerous crevices suitable for penetration. Divers can encounter various invertebrates such as sea urchins (étrilles), crabs (homards), spiny lobsters (tacaud), and common mussels (saint Jacques). Due to safety considerations associated with these tidal constraints, a dive guide is mandatory for initial visits.
