'Le baliseur Emille-Allard' I would like to add my favourite French dive site on your web site. It's a wreck called 'Le baliseur Emille-Allard' off Brest, in Brittany (West Coast). The boat was a buoy-layer and was sank during the second World War. The highlight of this dive is the crane of the boat, still intact, with heaps of conger eels at its base. Fish life is prolific with huge schools of fish and big lobsters. Plus, you can spot nice colourful nudibranchs if you are very careful. Depth is around 25m max depending on the tide.
All dive club in Brest know the marks for this wreck and often go there.

Safe bubbles, Lor
