About this dive site

This dive site is located in Place du marché, offering access from the market square. Divers can explore beneath the quai Perdonnet and navigate between pillars and old pillars of the quay. The diving experience involves a unique style, often described as ‘under the ceiling,’ with the ability to surface at any time – the water doesn't extend far under the dock. At sunset, the sun’s rays illuminate the area beneath the quays. Maximum depth is approximately 7-9 meters, making it suitable for open water divers. Good buoyancy is recommended for optimal enjoyment. Parking is readily available in the market square, and on Sundays, parking is free.
