About Le jardin aux gorgones
Le jardin aux gorgones is a deep Banyuls reserve shoal near Cap l'Abeille, best explored on a calm boat dive with slow, precise buoyancy. The site is built around purple gorgonians, a rocky cuvette, and deeper coralligenous sections where gorgonocéphale and anthias add movement and color. It suits divers who are comfortable working depth deliberately rather than rushing through the profile.
