Le Casier Nord is a boat-accessed coralligenous site west of Brescou Rock, built around several reef patches with two more isolated heads toward the southwest. It suits straightforward scuba planning, with a compact layout that keeps the route simple and the rockwork lively. Expect conger eels, octopus, nudibranchs, and lobsters around the reef.

Keep buoyancy tidy around the reef heads and check sea state before you go; weather changes can alter the boat plan.
Access Restrictions
Independent shore access is not the right plan here; use a local operator and follow the day’s briefing.
Legal Notes
The Brescou area sits within a managed marine-protection setting, so local access and mooring rules apply.
