About This Dive Spot

La Cale is located on the eastern slope of Île Longue, featuring a notable drop-off that provides an opportunity to observe a variety of marine life. Divers can expect to see crustaceans, conger eels, and occasionally lobsters hidden in their caves at the interface of sand and rock. Be on the lookout for spider crabs that can often be found resting vertically along the drop-off. In shallower areas, particularly towards the end of the dive or during safety stops, the herbarium is abundant with nudibranchs and additional crustaceans.
