Cap Homard

Also known as: La Cheminée · Cap Homard - La Cheminée

The signature of this site is a natural chimney of basalt rock that starts at about 15 m and is packed with lobsters and soldierfish. It drops divers some eight metres lower beneath an arch. From there a small network of faults can be explored, or divers can head out between white sand and tongues of rock. Parrotfish and fine sea fans decorate the rugged terrain, and tuna and barracuda often pass by. Plongée Salée describes a series of chimneys, faults and rocks where spiny lobsters are almost guaranteed.
