Le Philomel
Le Philomel: a current-sensitive wreck between Groix and Port Manec'h
Boat-only wreck dive with average visibility and a line-based return; best for experienced divers comfortable with current.
About Le Philomel
Le Philomel is a broken cargo steamship wreck between Groix and Port Manec'h, sitting on sand and mud with a collapsed midsection and scattered wreck remains. Expect average visibility rather than blue-water clarity, and plan for current-aware line work on the return and ascent. It is a demanding boat dive best suited to experienced wreck divers who are comfortable with careful buoyancy, conservative gas planning, and a guided route.
