About la faille de baye
la faille de baye is a guided Bayes-channel dive in Poindimie that drops through a chimney into a gorgonian-covered canyon before opening into blue water. The site is all about the shape of the passage, the dramatic walls, and the schooling fish in the crack, so buoyancy and calm planning matter more than raw depth. It is a rewarding route for divers who like tunnel-feel topography, big structure, and a steady flow of small and mid-sized life.
