Sec des Suisses

Also known as: Les Cigales · Sec du Sémaphore

The Sec des Suisses lies a short boat ride off Cap Dramont and the Île d'Or. Three rocks follow one another and drop from the shallows to a little over 40 m, so the dive can be adapted to several levels. Damselfish, groupers and barracudas gather around the tops, while conger and moray eels, spiny lobsters and slipper lobsters hide in the deeper cracks. Port Fréjus Plongée calls it 'les Cigales' after its slipper lobsters. Mio Palmo notes that the site is not sheltered from the mistral.
