Best for advanced divers, 45m, boat entry, strong current.
L'Avion is a wreck dive located off Île Maïre, resting on a flat sandy bottom at a depth of 45 metres. This site is strictly for advanced divers due to the significant depth, decompression requirements, and the presence of strong currents. Visibility at the site typically ranges between 10 and 30 metres. Access is by boat only, and divers must be prepared for heavy boat traffic in the area. Given the depth and potential for nitrogen narcosis, strict monitoring of bottom time and depth is essential. Divers should deploy a surface marker buoy before ascending to ensure visibility to passing vessels.
