Remote rocky boat dive with wreck-like fauna.
Remote rocky boat dive with wreck-like fauna.
A recently discovered boat dive off Saint-Pierre-Quiberon, made up of large scattered rocks that sit out in the open and shelter wreck-like fauna. A large shoal of pout often marks the arrival, with conger eels, shrimp, octopus, and other rocky-sea life around the boulders. It is best treated as a rugged exploration dive rather than a sheltered training stop.
