This dive site, known as Falaises, presents an intriguing underwater landscape characterized by three distinct cliffs rising from a sandy seabed at a maximum depth of 20 meters. Divers typically navigate a circuit around each cliff, ensuring a return to the starting point. It's crucial to maintain a west-east axis during the dive and exercise particular caution on the south side, which is exposed to breaking waves. The north side offers deeper exploration possibilities.
The Falaises is home to a rich array of typical regional marine life. Divers can encounter various fish species such as stingrays, guitarfish, tigerfish, and porcupinefish. The site is also known for its smaller inhabitants, including squirrelfish, several types of moray eels, conger eels, and lobsters, making it a rewarding spot for observing diverse marine fauna.
While specific seasonal highlights are not detailed, the site's average depth of 10 meters makes it generally accessible. However, the proximity to breaking waves on the south side necessitates careful dive planning and awareness of conditions, which can lead to variable currents and surge. Due to these potential surface conditions and the primary features being at depth, the Falaises is best suited for scuba divers. Freediving and snorkeling are generally not recommended given the safety concerns related to wave exposure.
