About Pointe de la Cuisse
Pointe de la Cuisse is a steep west-side Cap Ferrat wall dive with a narrow cave finish and a rich mix of Mediterranean fish, crustaceans, and seasonal nudibranchs. The route is a straightforward boat drop-and-return, but the exposed point, overhead finish, and active marine traffic mean it is best approached with solid buoyancy, a clear team plan, and conservative gas management.
