About Le tombant de colombier
Le tombant de colombier is a steep Colombier wall dive with a simple, scenic route and plenty of reef life on the face. The line can run as a mellow out-and-back or as a drift-style pass when current is present, so the exact plan depends on sea state and pickup timing. It is best treated as a guided boat dive in reserve water, where the wall, current, and route choice matter more than raw depth.
