About Lac des ciments
Lac des ciments is a controlled freshwater quarry-lake dive with a deep basin, cold groundwater, and enough structure and fish life to make it a strong training ground for buoyancy work and dry-suit practice. Access is handled through the federation base, so the site suits divers who want straightforward shore logistics, club-style support, and a conservative plan instead of an open public beach.

Local Intel For Lac des ciments
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A quarry-lake shore dive with a deep central basin and strong training value for buoyancy control, dry-suit practice, and club sessions.
Freediving
Not a natural freedive target. The cold water, depth, and access setup make scuba the much better fit.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not the main use case. The interesting structure and fish life sit deeper, so the site makes more sense on scuba.
