About La Gabinière Est tombant
La Gabinière Est tombant is a classic Port-Cros wall dive off Île de la Gabinière, known for drift runs and dense Mediterranean life. The east-facing wall drops straight from the surface and can be dived as a simple wall follow or a drift from the nearby coves, depending on the day. It is somewhat sheltered from the Mistral but exposed to easterly winds, so current, surface state, and boat timing can change the plan quickly.
