About La Pouponnière
La Pouponnière is a shallow nursery reef at Malendure that feels built for easy, slow diving and close observation. Rocky structure and coral pockets shelter juvenile fish, while the site's low relief and clear water make it especially good for photography, night dives, and divers who want a relaxed route with plenty of small-life detail.
