Best for advanced divers, 12-70m, shore entry, strong current.
The Chausey Islands offer challenging wreck diving along the Normandy Coast, suitable only for advanced divers. The site features depths ranging from 12 to 70 metres, with an average depth of 45 metres. Divers must navigate an overhead environment within the wreck structures. Conditions are demanding, characterised by strong currents and highly variable visibility that can shift rapidly. Shore entry is possible, though divers should exercise caution and verify local conditions before proceeding. Given the technical nature of the site and the potential for low visibility, careful planning around slack water and robust gas management are essential for a safe dive.
