Local Intel For la tradeliere
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The site can be run shallow or deep, so disciplined buoyancy on the plateau matters more than covering distance.
Freediving
Only for very comfortable freedivers on the shallow plateau; the wall itself is a scuba feature.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the interesting structure sits on the wall and deeper rock.
