Une petite patate discrète sur le chemin des Suisses.
Après une belle descente dans le bleu, vous arriverez sur cette petite roche à l'écart des sentiers battus. Avec un sommet très riche en gorgones et en anthias et une bordure sud abritant de belles langoustes et quelques brins de corail, cette roche permet de se faire un joli petit plaisir à condition de ne pas surcharger le site en plongeur.
Plutôt que de remonter dans le bleu, une remontée le long de la pente du sable vers le Sec des Suisses permet de faire d'une pierre, deux coups et d'une plongée, deux sites.

Two former French river barge, cast in 1945 by a sinking ally.

Apart from the purely historical interest, we can observe the huge schools of sars and the more recently emerged from bécunes.
Groupers often hide in piles of plates but a little patience enough to see them again in open water.
A classic, easily accessible but which can become a little sporting event of strong current.

Great diving, deep and rich.
At the top of the rock, large gorgonians harbor few butterflies urchins pencils. The different faces of the rock are just as imposing and steep. In their vulnerabilities lie lobsters observing the spectacle of anthias.
