12La Roche aux Serpents
Une petite patate discrète sur le chemin des Suisses. Après une belle descente dans le bleu, vous arriverez sur cette petite roche à l'écart des sentiers battus. Avec un sommet très riche en gorgones et en anthias et une bordure sud abritant de belles langoustes et quelques brins de corail, cette roche permet de se faire un joli petit plaisir à condition de ne pas surcharger le site en plongeur. Plutôt que de remonter dans le bleu, une remontée le long de la pente du sable vers le Sec des Suisses permet de faire d'une pierre, deux coups et d'une plongée, deux sites. Easy access via Poussaï Harbor La Roche aux Serpents is also known as Les Serpents.

Two former French river barge, cast in 1945 by a sinking ally. A classic dive in the region, these barges, the John Suzon and Saint Antoine, cast by a French submarine, replete Conference and morays. Apart from the purely historical interest, we can observe the huge schools of sars and the more recently emerged from bécunes.
