About L’âne rouge
L’âne rouge is a shallow-start pinnacle dive near Colombier Beach that is known for a lively rock and a strong sense of place. The route works its way around the sec, where the action concentrates on the rock and sand edge instead of a broad reef flat. It is a better fit when the sea is settled, because current and reserve-area planning matter more than raw depth.
