Isle de Phoques
Also known as: Isle de Phoque · Ile de Phoques
The seals haul out on the south-west side of the island, where the bottom is about 20 metres deep, and they tend to stay with divers for most of the dive. Close to the colony, on the north-west side, two small openings at the waterline mark the entrance to a big cavern that runs through that corner of the island. It comes out on the eastern side, where daylight floods in, while a torch shows the colours on the walls inside. Only calm days are suitable, because even a small surge pushes divers through the entrance, and nobody short on air should start it. Many other openings in the rock have not been explored.
