Tombant de l'Émissaire is a reef drop-off located off Cap Ferrat, France. The site descends to depths between 30 and 40 metres, making it suitable for intermediate divers. Access is by boat only, as the site is situated 1000 metres from the shore. Divers should be prepared for variable conditions, including mild currents that can shift, potential down currents, and thermoclines. Visibility is often limited, sometimes reaching as low as 5 metres. Given the depth, careful monitoring for nitrogen narcosis and decompression is essential. The topography is defined by the wall structure, which requires attention to buoyancy to avoid entanglement or contact with sharp rocks and sea urchins.
