la faille de baye

Now, La Faille de Baye, this one’s a proper adventure. You’re dropping down a chimney, which is always a fun way to start a dive, and then you’re in this canyon. It’s covered in gorgonians, really colourful, and then the hatchetfish – literally hundreds of them. They swirl so thick you’ll actually nudge them aside just to get through. We love that feeling, like you’re part of the school. Look closely in the cracks for banded whip lobsters and those soft locust lobsters; they’re often tucked away. Then, just when you think it’s all about the macro, you emerge into the blue. We’ve seen spinnaker whiptails out there, sometimes dorado cruising past. It’s a site that suits divers who enjoy a bit of a squeeze and then a grand reveal, perfect for those who appreciate both intimate details and the sudden expanse of the open ocean. Just be ready for that chimney entry, it's part of the charm.
