About La Cale
La Cale is a tide-sensitive drop-off on the east side of Île Longue in the Golfe du Morbihan, where a shallow sand-to-rock boundary turns into a compact macro dive. The site is known for conger eels, crustaceans, shrimps, lobsters, nudibranchs, and spider crabs, with seagrass shallows adding more small life. Plan it with a local center and work the dive around slack water.
