les cathedrales

About les cathedrales
A dramatic deep reef with a rocky head, vertical towers, and stepped plateaus that make the site feel cathedral-like from the first drop. The real attraction is the layered relief and the way the rock disappears into deeper water, with gorgonians, anemones, and dense fish life on the walls. It rewards disciplined buoyancy more than speed, so it is best handled as a proper advanced boat dive rather than a casual scenic pass.
