Rocky boat dive ridge at Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer
Boat access and the site's experienced-diver feel make a local operator the practical way in.
Le Gibus is a rocky ridge dive at Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer that mixes a shallow crest with a more demanding lower section. The profile alternates between rock, sand, and posidonia, so the route changes shape as you move along it. It is best treated as a boat-led outing for confident divers, with the calmest experience on settled days. Expect a fishy site rather than a blank wall.
