<para>
first class dive spot! due to currents often difficult to dive. access either via
blue water descent from boat, or - with excellent knowledge of the topography! -
diving from the southern tip of ilot de la gabiniere in southwest direction.
narrow, long ridge, both sides like steep walls. dense growing of algae, sponges,
and gorgonians. many fishes, first of all many groupers.
