Source de la Bisse is a boat-accessible site located off the Vermilion Coast, France, featuring a combination of natural and artificial reef structures. The site sits at a consistent depth of 28 metres. Due to low visibility, which averages 5 metres, divers should maintain close proximity to their group and deploy a surface marker buoy before ascending. The area experiences active boat traffic, requiring caution during surface intervals. Water temperatures range from 12C to 18C throughout the year, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. This site is suitable for intermediate divers and supports night diving. Guided tours are available through the local dive shop to assist with navigation.
