La Truie is a rock dive off the Quiberon peninsula with a maximum depth of 14 m. It is a dive for every level of diver, from the newly qualified to the experienced, which makes it an easy fit for a group of mixed ability.
Where it is and how deep
47.5102° N, 3.1558° WApproximate position — the dashed circle shows where the site lies; your operator's briefing has the mooring.
The dive
The whole dive stays above 14 m over a jumble of rocks with caves and drop-offs. No part of the site calls for deep training, so the newest divers on the boat can dive it alongside more experienced buddies.
