La cheminée
La cheminée: boat-anchored chimney dive with rock-and-sand terrain
Local operator required
Boat access and ecological-buoy mooring make a local dive operator the normal way to visit.
Boat-anchored Mediterranean reef with a chimney-like opening and a more vertical profile than a simple reef swim. Best for divers who want structure, buoyancy work, and a guided route.
About La cheminée
La cheminée is a boat-anchored Mediterranean reef and chimney dive with a sloping approach, a narrow rock chimney, sandy patches, and bright reef life concentrated on the rock. It suits experienced scuba divers who are comfortable with a more vertical profile, controlled buoyancy, and the option of peeking into the chimney-like opening rather than treating it as a flat reef swim.
