New divers from France

[jmjmpx06]

Hi from another fellow countryman, who learnt to dive between Nice and Menton. Was still around in August, in Villefranche sur Mer.

Have you ever try the Atlantic coast ? Some nice diving there too.

Hi,
I was in Nice in August, diving at Nice diving, French Riviera is so cool! Don't you think?

Where is the good diving on the Atlantic coast?

Yeah, cool and very much under rated as far as diving is concerned.

This may give you some hints, it's where I dive regularly, off Arcachon in the Biscay gulf.

A classic wreck : The Kriegsmarine's tugboat
Another one : The Chariot
Some more : La croche aux tacauds (sorry no idea how to translate that)
The wreck of the Suzanne M : part 1 ; part 2

Going deeper :
The Gauleiter Alfred Meyer aka the Frigolin : the wreck itself ; a good surprise
The Balena

Perfect! That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for!

Merci bien!

More please?

Sorry, but that's all the videos I know about it on YouTube. Some more details thought : weather can be a bother as some of those wrecks lies up to 5 nautic miles off the coast, too much wind means too much waves and current, so no diving. Water is usually cold : 12° to 14°C on the bottom. Some of the wrecks are well below 40m, an example the Balena lies 70m deep. Some are even deeper, 80m range, but I'm not qualified for those depths yet.

Thank you for all your enthusiasm with diving and bringing it to this forum . All I know is that Beuchat manufactures some darn good equipment and France is somewhere over the pond .
