This dive site, La Grotte Amédien, is an amazing shallow but long cave, with its entrance at 8 meters deep. It is accessible to divers who have mastered their buoyancy, offering an enchanting mineral atmosphere. After exploring the cave, the dive seamlessly transitions into a vibrant coral garden, providing a diverse underwater experience that is truly unforgettable.
Within the cave and surrounding coral garden, divers can expect to encounter a rich variety of marine life. This includes unique copper hatches, impressive king and Brazilian lobsters, schools of “pisquettes” (small fish), green and spotted moray eels, octopuses, and delicate cave shrimp. The healthy coral garden also hosts numerous species of fish and coral.
While no specific best time to visit is mentioned, the site's unique combination of cave exploration and coral reef diving makes it a highlight year-round. Divers are advised to maintain excellent buoyancy control, particularly within the cave environment, to protect the fragile formations and marine life. Its shallow depths also make it suitable for freedivers and snorkelers, who can enjoy parts of the coral garden and the shallower sections of the site.
