La Cheminée
About La Cheminée
A basalt formation begins around 15 m and drops through a natural chimney to an arch roughly 8 m deeper. From the arch, divers can follow a small network of faults or exit into an area of white sand and rocky outcrops. The terrain is described as mountainous, with sightings that can include lobsters, soldierfish, parrotfish, gorgonians, and pelagic visitors such as tuna and barracuda.
