About La Cathedrale
La Cathedrale is an advanced Medes reserve dive built around a cathedral-like chamber and adjoining tunnel sections. It is typically reached by boat and run under a controlled reserve system, so the appeal is as much the managed setting as the scenery: gorgonian walls, a compact rocky profile, and steady chances of groupers and other Mediterranean fish that reward good buoyancy and a calm pace.
