    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Le Sec de Saint Elme offers a nice wall dive, dropping down into the Mediterranean depths. We often find good nudibranchs here, tucked into crevices, alongside moray eels peeking from their holes. It’s a solid choice for a relaxing afternoon dive, suitable for divers comfortable with a bit of depth.
