Diving
Under the surface, among the gorgonias and coral, big groupers, escorted by "corbs", "dentis" or by "sars tambours" await you. You will feel like you are in a three-dimensional movie, while you enjoy a quiet which would be hardly accessible elsewhere.
No need to lure them to meet them.
Better than the temple's guardians, they will be really the guides of your most beautiful divings.
You will leave your daily life to discover the treasures of a fantastic and so different universe!!
