About this dive site

This dive site, Le Lac, is situated approximately 20 minutes of navigation by boat from a local diving center. It's characterized by a large sandy pool at a maximum depth of 17 meters, where divers explore around prominent rocky formations that border this unique underwater 'lake'. There is no specific historical background or story provided for the site.

The site boasts a diverse array of marine life including vibrant Squirrelfish, Gruntfish, Surgeonfish, Butterflyfish, Sergeant major, and Angelfish. More unique sightings include Balloonfish, Trunkfish, Barracuda, and the occasional Lionfish. Crustacean life is also abundant with Lobster, Shrimp, and Eiffel Crabs, alongside the colorful Flamingo Tongue snail.
