Le Louis David is a wreck dive located in the Molène Archipelago, France. The site features a wreck resting in depths reaching 45 metres. Access is by boat only, and the site is suited for intermediate divers due to strong currents. Visibility is typically between 5 and 10 metres, requiring divers to maintain close group contact. Water temperatures remain between 10 and 12 degrees Celsius, necessitating a drysuit or thick wetsuit. Divers must time their descent and ascent around slack water to manage the current. An SMB and a cutting tool are recommended due to the current and sharp edges on the structure.

Timing your dive around slack water is essential here as the current can make the site unworkable outside a narrow window, so co-ordinate closely with your boat operator for the day's tidal schedule. Pack an SMB and a cutting tool given the current exposure and the sharp edges throughout the wreck.
Access requires booking with dive centres which usually operate on weekends in the off-season.
