Deep blue-water freedive site off Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer.
Le BLEU is a deep blue-water freediving site off Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer, used for calm-condition sessions and line work in open water. The appeal is the open sea itself: a long drop, surface support, and the chance of pelagic encounters rather than reef scenery. It suits freedivers who are comfortable with disciplined timing, a float system, and changing sea state.
