#1 - Hortense
France, Aquitaine, Arcachon bay
Hortense was closed for 2 or 3 years, the site has been re-opened in 2005, and then re-closed! This was a classic dive site of Arcachon bay, where many diving clubs meet for the week-end.
This dive spot is located at the Cap Ferret, near the restaurant named "Chez Hortense". Water access must be done by the boat slip.
WARNING: It's forbidden to dive Hortense.
#2 - Le Mimbeau
France, Aquitaine, Arcachon bay
There are a lot of fishes and tiny species to see here. The main problem is the current. If you miss the tide, you will probably enjoy the drift dive... except if you have to go back to the boat !
Le Mimbeau is a long natural sandy area at Cap Ferret. There are a lot of oyster's parks along the channel. Dive site is all along this part of the channel.
#3 - La Villa Algerienne
France, Aquitaine, Arcachon bay
The site is located between the coast and the oyster's parks. There are several sea grass fields with some sea hosrses.

The Villa Algerienne house doesn't exists anymore, so don't look for it !
