Boat access and site familiarity make a guided trip the practical way to dive Vertigo.
Vertigo is a boat-accessed Poindimié dive built around cracks, tunnels, and anemone-covered relief, with shafts of light, gorgonian texture, and small reef life in the openings. It suits divers who can hold steady buoyancy, move slowly through the structure, and treat the site as a guided lagoon boat dive rather than a drift run.
