Le Tombant de la Piscine: intermediate wall dive with plateau finish
Le Tombant de la Piscine is a classic Cap Martin wall dive with a clean drop into blue water and a short plateau finish. The profile is straightforward, but it is better treated as an intermediate wall dive because the wall runs deeper and the site is happiest in calm seas. Expect schooling fish, hanging fauna, moray eels, and octopus rather than a long swim or complex navigation.
