La BCD is an advanced dive site located off Cap Ferrat, characterised by a pronounced drop-off that descends from 40 to 50 metres. This site features a reef structure and requires boat access. Divers must manage strong currents, which can influence descent and bottom time. Visibility typically ranges between 10 and 30 metres. Due to the significant depth and potential for overhead environments, this site is suitable only for divers trained in technical decompression profiles. Water temperatures fluctuate between 13 and 19 degrees Celsius, making appropriate thermal protection necessary.

Time your entry from the boat carefully around the current, as strong flow at this depth can push you off the drop-off quickly and eat into your bottom time. Dive tables or a dive computer set for depth alerts are essential given the 40 to 50 metre range.
