About grotte mystérieuse
Boat dive into a tunnel-like cave off Ile Jarre, with a chimney up into a bright basin, orange sponges and gorgonians on the walls, and rocky scree around the exit. It is an overhead site, so the pace is slow, the trim matters, and a torch or backup light makes the passage and basin much easier to read. The reward is a compact cave profile with striking light and texture that invites a careful look on the way out.
