About This Dive Spot
La Diéppoise is the wreck of an anti-mine vessel that later served as a lighthouse and beacon ship. The wreck lies at a depth of 25 meters, making it accessible for divers. Originally constructed with a wooden hull to evade magnetic mines, the wood has since decayed, leaving only the ribs visible, which allows for a glimpse inside the structure. While the site has limited fixed fauna, divers can observe schools of fish in the vicinity, along with occasional sightings of sharks and rays passing by.
