La Theiere is a technical dive site located off the coast of Île Saint-Honorat. The topography consists of a reef, wall, and drop-off that descends from 50 to 75 metres, with an average depth of 62 metres. Due to the significant depth, this site is strictly for advanced divers with appropriate deep and technical qualifications. Access is by boat only. Visibility ranges from 10 to 30 metres, and currents are generally mild but can shift. Divers must manage decompression obligations and nitrogen narcosis risks carefully. Guided tours are recommended to navigate the wall and local current conditions effectively.
