About Le Sec de la Jaune Garde
Le Sec de la Jaune Garde, also called Pascal, is a boat-access Porquerolles rock face with a shallow crest, faulted limestone, and steeper outer walls. Purple gorgonians line parts of the rock, while schooling reef fish and larger visitors move through when the water is working. It is best dived with a planned turn and a team that can read changing current and choose the right section of the face.
