About Chemin des écoliers
Chemin des Ecoliers is a Poindimié channel dive built around a network of pinnacles, tunnels, and caverns. The site is known for dense coral growth, especially large gorgonians, and it rewards divers who plan around tide, current, and the local boat run rather than treating it like a simple reef cruise. Expect a structure-rich dive with shifting wildlife, a moderate depth profile, and enough complexity that good buoyancy and a local operator matter more than speed.
