About this dive site

This dive site, known as Baie de l’Océanium, serves primarily as a training ground due to its protected and shallow nature. Located in a bay with still water and near a small dam, navigation is straightforward given the limited depth and calm conditions. No specific historical events or stories about the site's origin are mentioned, but its role as a local training facility is clear.

Despite its proximity to the coast and shallow depth, the site boasts a surprisingly rich marine fauna. Divers can expect to encounter rays, porcupine fish, moray eels, starfish, and a variety of nudibranchs. This makes it an excellent spot for observing a wide array of small and medium-sized creatures.

The Océanium bay is suitable for diving year-round due to its protected environment. It is particularly recommended for beginner divers and those looking to practice skills in calm conditions. Its shallow nature and abundant macro life also make it ideal for snorkeling and freediving, offering easy access to fascinating marine encounters.
