Les aiguilles is a rocky advanced boat dive in Porto Pollo.
Les aiguilles (Porto pollo) is a rocky pinnacle dive in the Golfe de Valinco, with fissures, pinnacles, and deeper sand that make the site feel more like underwater architecture than a simple reef. Gorgonians, sponges, and reef fish fill the rock faces, while the more complex relief gives photographers and experienced divers plenty to work with. It is a boat dive best approached slowly, with attention to surge and the changing light in the cracks.
