The strong current means timing your dive around slack water is important, so check tidal tables carefully before heading out. Cold water at these depths will drain heat quickly, so make sure your exposure protection is rated for at least 14 degrees and bring a surface marker buoy for your ascent.
The base is located at Plage du Kelenn in Carantec. Access to dive sites is by boat from the nautical base.
