Diving Cap de la Chevre

Site Overview

Cap de la Chevre Walls is a wall and reef dive site in Brittany, France, reached from the base town of Crozon. The Cap de la Chevre forms the southern tip of the Crozon peninsula, where granite walls plunge straight into the Atlantic. Conger eels, lobsters and wrasse cling to the rock, and the wall is draped in anemones and sponges. The site reaches a maximum depth of 30 m with an average profile around 20 m and a shallow start near 8 m, which places it firmly in the intermediate category and means divers should hold at least an Open Water certification. Conditions are typical of the French coastal coast: visibility generally runs from 12 to 26 metres, the current is moderate, and the water temperature ranges between 11 and 17 degrees Celsius with moderate surge exposure. The marine community is centred on Conger Eel, European Lobster, Cuckoo Wrasse, Pollock, Small-spotted Catshark, Corkwing Wrasse, and the full species list is detailed below for divers planning a trip. Cap de la Chevre Walls is a strong representative of why Brittany diving is so highly regarded, blending the geology, history and biodiversity that define French underwater exploration. It pairs naturally with the other sites of the Brittany region for a varied holiday, and with the right thermal protection and, where relevant, the correct specialist training, it offers a memorable dive for photographers, naturalists and wreck or reef enthusiasts alike.
