Dive Spot Guide•
LE MENHIR
LE MENHIR is a short boat dive with plateau structure and macro life.
LE MENHIR is a quick boat ride from Saint-Pierre; plan a steady scuba dive that starts on the plateau and opens into the deeper slope.
About LE MENHIR
LE MENHIR is a compact Saint-Pierre dive site with a rocky-sandy plateau that breaks into a steeper drop. Finger corals and sponges cover parts of the site, and fish are present across the profile while nudibranchs add a strong macro angle. It suits divers who want a short boat-access dive with a deliberate pace and enough relief to stay interesting throughout.

Treat the plateau break as the point where the dive gets serious, then manage gas and trim for the deeper runout. Keep surface awareness on boat days and do not assume the whole site has the same difficulty.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; best for advanced divers because the profile drops quickly after the plateau.
