Grand coude de Kele
Fissure-wall dive in Bourail with sharks and fish.
Boat or club day in Bourail; the fissures, wall, and blue-water side define the plan more than a quick descent.
About Grand coude de Kele
Grand coude de Kele is a three-fissure lagoon-and-ocean wall in the Bourail area that rewards a controlled descent and a disciplined return along the structure. The site is about the drop-off, the blue side, and the mix of big and small life in the cracks, with boat access or a club day doing most of the logistical work. It is the sort of site that works best when the plan is calm and deliberate instead of rushed.
