Reliefs and varied landscapes
Uncrowded site that offers a very active and abundant underwater life

Description

To make the most of the diversity of this site, no less that 3 dives, from beginner to confirmed, at a depth of 26 meters.

Situated at about 50 m from the tip of Cape Peyrefite, partly in the reserve.Access by boat or from the southern part of Cape Peyrefite. The latter is difficult as you go through the public campsite and have to carry all the material. The site is not very wind sheltered. A small rock called Ramère is close to the coast to the south of the cape and allows you to practice snorkeling.

Explore various landscapes. 
We first find large canyons screes with coralligenous from 17 meters deepth.. Then ,we can observe rock walls from 12 to 20 meters forming small drops. Beyond, the coralligenous zone offers a large amount of cavities where lobsters, moray eels, wrasses and some groupers live. Enjoy the abundance of sea life, you might even see stingrays, depending on the season. The dive ends at 25-26 meters on the sand.

This exploration allows to discover this place steeped in history, thanks to some clues that recall a presence related to the Gallo-Roman era, and laden with life with the many species that find refuge. The adventure is waiting for you!
