Lake Borgne
Lake Borgne: Iroise wreck with strong currents and rich fish life.
Lake Borgne is an Iroise wreck dive for experienced teams, with boat access, current timing, and fish-packed boiler spaces.
About Lake Borgne
Lake Borgne is an Iroise Sea wreck site centered on an American steamer that hit rock and now rests on its starboard side. The separated boiler and partially buried propeller make it a classic broken-hull dive with plenty of structure to explore. The wreck is rich in fish life, and the boiler and interior spaces shelter conger eels, crabs, and other small animals. It is the kind of dive that rewards good timing, controlled buoyancy, and comfort in more dynamic Atlantic water.
