About gorgognes noire
Gorgognes noire is a Cap Martin boat dive on a moored wall just east of the cape. The dive starts on a shallow plateau and quickly drops into a coralligenous face with gorgonians in black, white, and red patches. It is best treated as a confident scuba outing: current can show up, visibility can soften, and the deeper wall rewards a slow, controlled pace.
