About this dive site

This dive site, Challière, is accessed from shore via steps leading to a small, potentially busy beach. Divers descend along a steep slope, navigating pretty underwater reliefs that form impressive giant steps. A notable feature is a large fault, which provides shelter for numerous fish. No specific history or story behind the dive site is provided.

The marine life at Challière includes common perch and sun perch, which are frequently observed in the shallower sections of the dive. Mussels densely cover the rock faces, adding to the site's biodiversity and offering opportunities for macro photography.

While no specific best time to visit is indicated, the site is likely best enjoyed during warmer months for more comfortable conditions, though cold water gear is recommended for deeper dives. Divers should possess good stabilization skills due to the steep slope. The site is suitable for both snorkeling in shallow areas and freediving, given its diverse depth profile and interesting topography.
