About Ile d'Yoch
Ile d'Yoch is a shallow shore dive and snorkel spot at the foot of the island. White sand and Himanthales forest make it a relaxed place to practice buoyancy and enjoy a calm, sheltered feel when the tide is right. It is best for beginners and snorkelers who want easy access and a plant-rich seabed rather than a big-wall or current-driven dive.
